Turkey Delight

Thanksgiving is here. Here's a list of things I am thankful for: (in no particular order)

- That I'm alive and well.
- That I have such a wonderful family.
- That I have true friends and wonderful people all around me who give me so much to look forward to each day.
- That I've been through hard times and that I learn each day from my trials
- That I can play the guitar and sing
- That I've got a tasty alcoholic beverage to drink whilst blogging tonight
- That I have two jobs when a lot of people don't even have one.
- That no matter how far from home I am, I can reach out to those I love (gotta love technology)
- That I live in a world were we can change the things we don't like about the way things are.
- That I've grown so much spiritually.
- That I still don't regret a single tattoo on my body! lol
- That no matter how bad things get in my life, I have a mindset to push forward
- That God doesn't hate me, and I finally believe that.
- That I came out of my depression.
- That I gained 15 pound instead of losing it (even though it's probably beer weight, lol)

I could go on for so long about the things I am grateful for. I could probably write non-stop this whole 96 hours and never finish.

What are you all thankful for? How many things can you write down in 10 minutes? Try it and see what you come up with. Maybe you think life is terrible or that stuff is just dragging you down lately, but if you take the time to just write these things down for 10 minutes, I'm positive you will feel better.

This Thanksgiving holiday, truly look deep inside yourself and realize what you have. Don't take a single thing for granted because this life is too short and there are so many people in this world that have much, much less.

And on that note, take time out of your holiday to help someone. Don't just BE thankful, but gives others something to be thankful for. Reach out and touch someone's heart. Don't you recall that warm fuzzy feeling when it gets to be this time of year; especially when you're a kid??? It's not that you've grown out of it. It's still there ONLY if you're willing to see it, to feel it. No matter where you are, how dismal things may seem, there is a reason to be happy, to seek love, to lone another, to take a chance, to make a wish, to get excited, to be overwhelmed with anticipation of good times. It's all there, and it works best is we share it with everyone.

Have a terrific Thanksgiving everyone. <3'a 4 Ever!
