Screw it, Imma do a list, too, even though I'm not American and celebrated this holiday more than a month ago.

 

I'm grateful for my family and the fact that I have a roof over my head. I'm also grateful for the fact I went to Slovakia this summer, the fact that pizza exists, transit and sarcasm. Oh yeah, and the fact that I'm not superstitious like everyone else I know is. Good stuff.
