A Big Thank You
I know Canadian Thanksgiving is long over but hey, who said giving thanks
should only be done during October. Since the year is about to come to an end
(not really, we still have 34 days), I want us to get thinking on what we are thankful for, even
the smallest things. Sometimes the
smallest things are the ones we often overlook. Simply because we think they’re
doing their normal jobs so here we are thinking it’s no big deal. But let’s
stop for a second and think how grateful we should really be because, well..
just because. So today I’m going to be
like Jimmy Fallon and list my thank you notes!
Thank you Earphones for helping me avoid people who want to chat me
up when I don’t feel like talking to them. Thank you also for being a great
accomplice when I want to eavesdrop on people and they’d think I am listening
to music when I’m really not!

Thank you the cold side of the pillow for making me feel like I am lying on a changed pillow sheet and so I can sleep more comfortably and not think about the dead skin cells that are disposed on my pillow.

Thank you swipe keyboard for making my life easier, lazier, and
making the people I text think I’m illiterate at the same time. Sometimes you work and sometimes you don’t so
I’m really not sure whether to thank you at all; nevertheless, you save me at
least 3.5 seconds every time I type.

Thank you hair ties for being the da real mvp when it comes to bad
hair days, those days when you don’t know what to do with your hair and you
have something you need to look presentable for. Thank you being a nice looking
bracelet too. Makes me achieve the emo look I always wanted when I was
thirteen.
Lastly, Thank you for me family and friends for being there, feeding
me, and supporting me throughout these
years of my life. We have a love and hate relationship and I just want you to
know that I appreciate it all. I know I don’t say this a lot, but I am
thankful. If ever I look like I’m being ungrateful, I just don’t know how to
say thank you, the right way. I don’t want to waste the genuineness of the
words “thank you” and so I often find myself being speechless with all the help
you've given me. I want to say thank you and make you feel happy that you've helped a human being. So... a big thank you from me!

Thank You!
Thanksgiving is a holiday where, according to Wikipedia, Canada "celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year." It's a time to be grateful. But what should we be grateful for? We need to be grateful for the blessings that we receive on a daily basis. Below is a list of unsung heroes that we need to be thankful for:
- soldiers and police who sacrifice/sacrificed their lives for our safety
- construction workers that work their bodies off for the best of the community
- farmers who work endless hours to keep food on our tables
- teachers who give knowledge to the learning people
- bus drivers who take us to where we need to go
- media content producers to keep us entertained
- programming geniuses who produce and/or maintain social networking sites to keep communication alive
- friends who are there with you in every step of the way, and parents and family who look over and love us unconditionally
Of course, these aren’t all the people we should be thankful for. There are more on the list, and if I listed them all, then this blog post would not end. Personally, I’d like to thank you for reading this post, and being a part of the VANITY Blog family. Thank you for being an awesome person!
If you see someone who you think we should all be grateful for because of their actions, why not give them a simple "thanks buddy for being so cool" compliment? Because of these people listed above (and of course, there are many more), our lives are made easy.
I've got one question for you: who are you thankful for? Comment down below!
With gratitude (and then some),
Jose
