AHHH! I forgot to list a number of very important things I am thankful for:
* For the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land and all the graces that God gave me during that pilgrimage;
* For voicemails from my adorable godson!
* For public libraries that have great collections
more to come!

Happy Thanksgiving!
It's been a while since my last post - Things have been insane here! Anyway, I thought I'd repeat the tradition I started last year and make a list of everything I'm thankful for this year:
This year, I am thankful for (with some repeats, and some new additions from last year):
* Reconnecting with old friends
* My students at Marian High School - especially 9th hour and for my Mentor teacher!
* Greater clarity about where I am going next year after the Mdiv
* for حبيبي , my love! and especially all the ways he makes me aware of God's incredible love for me.
* for forgiveness, mercy, especially in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
* for humility, realizing my human limitations and yet how much God loves me even in my littleness and weakness.
* for peace and balance in life.
* for the women of Cavanaugh hall, and all the ways they have given me opportunities to mentor them, walk beside them, pray with them, live, and laugh with them!
* opportunity to study at Notre Dame and for my scholarship which makes it free!
* for the fact that I only have one more semester left of university study ! - in other words, that I'm almost done with homework FOREVER! (or at least until I pursue another degree ;))
* growth in my relationship with my family members
* For my doctor and counselor - for the ways they have helped me to overcome the cyclical (as related to PMS) depression i've struggled with for so long!
* new spiritual insights - things God has taught me / showed me this year
*greater clarity about my unique calling in life
* my health, which I often take for granted
* pastors, catechists, youth ministers, professors who have taught me the faith
* my classmates - who teach me so much and challenge me to grow
* best friends, who are always only a phone call away and offer love, support, and encouragement
* the beauty of the Fall here at Notre Dame
* puppies
* my housekeeper who cleans my room every week and who is a wonderful woman!
* squirrels
* great blogs that encourage me and help me cope with struggles in life
* great books which inspire me to do something great with my life
* the Word of God which always has an encouraging or challenging word to speak to my heart
* for the Eucharist which sustains me on this earthly journey.
* for the hospitality which others lavish on me
* opportunities for quality time
* others who have reached out to me
* For the opportunity to study the Arabic language and for my teacher
* for the beauty of the Arabic culture* dining hall workers - particularly the card swipers!
* queen sized beds
* many other things...
