Top 10 Thanksgiving MovieS/SHOWS
This year I'm especially excited for Thanksgiving. The last 4 years have been super hard, and when things tend to get difficult in life, we wind up thinking in I’s. I don’t like speaking or thinking like that. It’s the opposite of who I am as a person. But it happened and here I am. Anyway, I have decided to stop being a victim to my life's circumstances and get after it. I’m tired of being angry, sad and in despair all the time. So, this Thanksgiving, I am going to stop worrying and instead enjoy the long weekend with my family. Part of that enjoyment is going to be eating a lot of food and watching movies. So I figured I would share some Thanksgiving favorites for you all to enjoy as well! Wishing you Happy Thanksgiving! #staygrateful
