Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving.

A day that is usually filled with pure nothingness and eating
ALL DAY! I usually regret it the next day, but my exercise will serve as running
through the many stores tomorrow for all the black Friday sales.

This year has been a trying year though.
I have a lot to be thankful for, because many people are going without during the holidays because of this horrible state that the economy is in.

I am thankful for...

• Being alive. Life is precious and I am truly happy that I have been allowed to grace this earth with my wonderful presence for 22 years.
• Being in good health. I have no major life threatening illnesses, I have not been hospitalized, so I've been doing pretty good.
• Family. Although, there are the ups and downs, I am appreciative that I have some sort of family structure that is there for me and lends out the support that they can. This year while working at the school, I feel for the children I see that are doing it on their own because they have parents and family that have neglected to be a vital piece in their lives.
• Friends. I love my friends so much. My best friend is my heart. I am learning to forgive. I have met new friends of whom I adore.
• Having a job. Many people are without. The kids aren't that bad are they!
• Having a house, food to eat, and a car to drive. These are things that some people consider luxury but I can afford and have been blessed with these things.

Be thankful for something today because there are many who are going without something that you have been blessed with.
