Some things to be thankful for — family, friends and bacon

This Thanksgiving, I challenge you not to think of your misfortunes or the things you wish you had. Too often, we concentrate on the things we can't change instead of just enjoying life.

Although I think this is something people should get into a habit of doing everyday, please, just for me, at least do it today.

Be thankful for things like the people you love, sunsets, clean water, a bathroom in your home and that your life isn't like an episode of "American Horror Story."

Here are some reasons people in the social media-verse feel thankful — including bacon, coffee and, my personal favorite — cats.

Monica's goal is to raise awareness about suicide and help erase the stigma associated with mental illness. In 2012, she won first place in News Enterprise Reporting by the Michigan Press Association for her series on suicide in the community, and in 2013, was named “Digital Innovator of the Year” by the Local Media Association. In 2019, she received the Ambassador Award from the suicide prevention nonprofit Six Feet Over. She started the blog Meant to Live to help others by sharing signs of depression, reasons to live, resources, suicide and bullying prevention groups, other people’s stories and memorials. She especially wants to show people that they are not alone.
