Many people make a list for what and why they are thankful. I have a list too! I try to be thankful of my blessings (good or bad) every day of my life. However, there are times when I just don't feel as thankful as while enjoying a great turkey meal with my family!
I am thankful that I live in a free society. I am thankful for having a wonderful family to share the good and bad times with, and they are always there to support and guide me. I am thankful to have job in today's economy (but I also believe that the other half of that equation gets the good deal too), so that I can buy the things I require to live healthy and happily. I am thankful for the friends I have made and have known in my life. I am thankful for being a kitty mommy for 18 years (I still miss my Misty!).
I am thankful for little things mostly! Like hugs! Yesterday was a great for hugs! Showing my love and appreciation to my family!! My other favouite "I love you" gesture is to tug gently on my loved one's ear lobe. It's mostly for my niece and nephews. I hope that I am a good aunt, because I want them to have the best they can out of life. I like to encourage their interests, and listen to them explain how things are going. I also am a bad influence too! They probably learned to swear from me, and they also learned how to sing the song, Long Line of Losers (Montgomery Gentry). I want them to have the same respect for their ancestors that I have acquired throughout the years! Good or bad, we get it all from them! That's something to be thankful for! :P
So on this fine Thanksgiving weekend, we have great weather, great food, great company, and great times!!! I hope that you have a chance to create some thanksgiving memories too!
Happy Thanksgiving All!
