Tomorrow isn’t promised so cherish every single moment!! I am also thankful to have a job and a roof over my head as well as a car. It’s the little things; if you don’t appreciate them, you start to take everything for granted. I am also very thankful for the chance to win Steelers tickets! I have been one of their biggest fans since I was probably 8, but never have been to a game because I can’t afford tickets. It would be THE most AWESOME thing in the world to experience!!
