Wonderful

The smell of smoked ham and turkey. The warmth of the house from the happiness in the air. Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday. This Thanksgiving I'm going to spend time with my family at this big dinner we are planning when relatives that I have are planning to come down from everywhere. The first thing I'm thankful for is God because he gives inspiration and something to live up to. Second is my family because they help me through things just by making me feel loved. Third is my friends they support me and make school worth getting up for every morning. Fourth would be all the wonderful food and even water that we can enjoy in moderation while other people would love to even have one meal per week. The fifth thing I'm thankful for is the freedom for religion, school, and fashion.  The sixth thing I'm thankful for is the nature that God created for us to enjoy. The waters, the trees, the flowers and the land are things that are absolutely beautiful and we forget about it. The seventh thing that I'm thankful for are my two dogs and my sweet kitty. My health is the eighth thing I'm thankful for. The ninth thing I'm thankful for is the different types of music that we can listen to and express ourselves with from the sorrow to the happiness music can fit the mood you're in. The last thing I'm thankful for is the technology that we have for entertainment or even for saving someone's life.

Luxury or Necessity?

After the money and consequences that will take place over cigarettes through a persons life nothing will stop them from buying cigarettes because first of all they are addicted. I think that people wouldn't let the graphic pictures bother them and continue to smoke because most people have a careless attitude on their health and just want to die having known that they died doing what they want, but really they will suffer with different types of cancer. Cigarettes could tear a family apart and it takes money out of your pocket, also. Cigarette users should stop and think, is it a luxury or necessity?

The McBummer Meal

The discussion on the ban for low-nutrition kid-toy meals is bitter sweet because it is the parents' responsibility for what they feed their children, but then again some parents don't care for their kids like they need to thus meaning that they rely on fast food for an easy meal. They haven't banned toys yet but after the hearing goes through they will decide. I agree with there decision because it may be the parent's responsibility but some parents have no responsibility and they can't leave it up to the parents to feed their kids healthy food. The McDonald calorie guideline is 600 calories or less. I think McDonald's had a good idea with the fun part of the meal but they just need more nutrition and then it would be perfect.

Beach Breakfast

The smell of pancakes and syrup awoke me. I hurriedly slid out the white french doors of our family's beach vacation house. I stepped out on to the patio, loving the smell of the ocean's waters, the wonderful sound of the waves crashing against the sand and the warmth of the sun hitting my face. I walked to the side of the patio, thrilled by the sight of my favorite meal, pancakes. I sat down expecting the rest of my family to walk out at any time. I waited, trying to be patient, but with the hot pancakes and thick syrup sitting in front of me it was very hard. Finally, my family started arriving at the table one by one. Before I knew it they were all there. I enjoyed eating a delightful meal right beside the beach where I love it the most and with the people I love the most.
