Today is the day to eat lots of turkey and potatoes and become stuffed! Also, the day to be with family and friends. But most importantly it is a day to remember to give thanks an be thankful for what you have in your life.
Many people forget to look around and count their blessings every once in awhile. I am one of those people sometimes that gets too caught up in the wishes and the dreams. And who can blame any of us with this crummy economy.
The many unthankfuls people focus on: Loss of job, no job, working at a crappy job, money issues and the list goes on and on.
And here are is everything people should be thankful for : Their breath they take every morning when they wake up, the people that are there for them during all those rough times encountered in the economy, the fact that you do have a job to go to everyday
What I am thankful for everyday
-My family for their support
-Boyfriend. I love you.
-I have the greatest friends
-Lily-she keeps me company on lonely days and she's super cute.
-That I have a job at all. Might not be my dream but I'll get there someday
-The roof over my head (for now)
-As with every holiday, the absence of my mom tugs at my heart but even though she isn't here I can still say I am thankful for the 22 wonderful years I had with her and the amazing relationship we had.
So please take a moment if only today and count your blessings and truly be thankful for everything that you have around you. Oh and enjoy all the wonderful feasts you will be chowing down on!
-God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?"-
