Happy (late) Thanksgiving!

As always, Thanksgiving was wonderful. I love the holiday! Every year I'm reminded again of how I should be thankful daily--not just on Thanksgiving. I've summarized my list of things I'm thankful for to this:
 1) My family. You all make me so happy and I'm so lucky to be a part of the Cottle family.
 2) The opportunities that I have! I'm so glad that I can be educated, and I'm especially looking forward to continuing my education next year in college.
 3) Hard things. I'm so thankful that everyday is not easy and that we all have bad days. During my bad days I learn more about myself and learn that I can do hard things. I'm so thankful for that.
 4) My sweet, sweet friends. I love all of them, and I'm so thankful to know them! I have so much fun with my friends, and I can't wait for the fun times ahead.

  Ultimately, I'm thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sometimes I wonder why I was so lucky to be born with it, when so many people seek for the true gospel their whole lives. I'm so happy to know that I have a loving Heavenly Father that knows and loves me. That truth makes me feel as if I can do anything! I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, and I love the friend that I have in Him. He is always there for me, and I know that He understands my heart.
    Heavenly Father has blessed me with so many things, and I am so happy to have the knowledge of Him. I know that I need to show my gratitude more

Happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone!
