I made the thanksgiving paper garland with the intention of me and my family reflecting on what we are thankful for this holiday season. On Thanksgiving, I intend for my parents and my siblings to each take a cutout and write what they are thankful for. It may sound silly or too heartwarming to bear, but especially during times when me and those around me have been stressed about life, it is important to take a step back and reflect on what has helped us. For me, something I am grateful for is my family. No matter the time of day someone always answers and listens to me vent, laugh, cry, and talk. I was able to keep in touch with them and still be involved in their lives. I may have been annoying, and sometimes they might not have wanted to answer, but I am grateful that every time my name popped up, they were able to say hi.
This is so sweet and goes to show how much we still have to be thankful and so much to cherish even with what is happening.
I think doing this like this is amazing especially during trying times such as this pandemic. I am definitely going to to this with may family next year.
