Thanksgiving 2016

I can go on about how our national holiday has been turned into trash by the retail market and consumers of this country. I also could go on about how people don't understand the meaning of Thanksgiving. Instead I would like to share with you what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for an amazing family that Above All shows their love and compassion. I am thankful for great friends who truly understand and respect me. I am thankful that in this crazy world, my little corner is not as bad as it could be.
I am extremely grateful for my partner. Since we have met, he has brought out of me the best parts of my soul. He has made me realize I too am important. I am grateful to have the opportunity of self-reflection, as in the past I was too preoccupied to even see me.

I am thankful that I have the chance to spend the holidays with those who love me. I am grateful that my wonderful partner  has shown me what it is like to be loved. Although he won't be at the table with me this year for Thanksgiving, it is great to know that I still have him with me. I am happy to have somebody to share the good news and the bad.

I am thankful for the roof over my head and the food on my table.  I am grateful for the ability to share my talents and be appreciated for them. 

Overall,  I am thankful for being alive and able to take the reigns and drive myself into the future.

There are so many more things and people I could list, but instead I ask you this. What are you thankful for? 

Thank you for your time and may your Holiday be Safe and Happy!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day is not just a day to eat Turkey and watch football. It has a meaning which has been unfortunately lost to many.

We should be thankful for all we have been given, not rushing out to buy random commodities we do not need.

We should be grateful for the family and friends that surround us. We should be sharing this day; remembering and making memories,  not wasting it away in front of a television or in a shopping mall.

We need to learn to appreciate what has been given to us. People are too greedy these days. Its not all about you, it should be about the greater good.

I personally try every day of my life to do good. If I see a 'neighbor' in need and I am able to assist in some way, I will. It's a personal choice on how we live life.  People need to realize we share this country and this earth!

Let us share it with all, be thankful for what we have and help those in need. Only then will you understand the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

With an open Heart,

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
