Giving Thanks...& Welcomes

Right now I'm sitting in class. I'm far from interested in the lecture because of how long it took for the professor to start this class. But I'm not on here to discuss me nearly dying from boredom [oh god she just told a Nixon/MCcain joke].

It's days away from Thanksgiving. Which means time to go around family members and stuff your face like there's no tomorrow, and of course "give thanks". In school they always threw around that phrase when I was younger. I knew what it meant to be thankful, but I don't ever think I took it to heart. This year with the avalanche of problems that has showered me, I'm finally taking in what this simple phrase means.

Never before have I been so down, yet so grateful for what I have. That's because I've lost so much lately. It takes everything going wrong to understand everything you have that is just right.

So as I eat my turkey, rolls, and cranberry sauce [oh yeah if anyone has extra cranberry sauce...let me know] I will take my time to look around and say "thank you" to everyone and everything that I have left in my life.

Go be with family, food, & football.

'Til next time
