Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! We just moved to a new state. Our house is big, beautiful and…bare (we gave away just about everything before we left). My kids are sleeping on the floor. The puppies are running wild. My car is acting up. My son is upset because he didn’t want to move away from his friends. My daughter can’t walk (ankle surgery)…
But we’re together, we’re happy and we’re going to sit on the family room floor tomorrow and enjoy an awesome Thanksgiving dinner with joy in our hearts. We have so much to be thankful for. The bank account ain’t full (especially after just moving) but we’re not homeless. We’re healthy. We’re fed. We’re rested. I have a career. AND I HAVE BOOKS TO READ!!! Life is damned good regardless of what the media says.
Everything is relative. When compared to other places, for example, Bangladesh where the yearly average income is $1800 a YEAR, or Europe (where I was recently) where gas is consistently $6 to $8 a gallon, I think I’ll be grateful for what I have instead of complaining about what I don’t have. The best is here, and better is on the way ;D Woohoo!
Happy Thanksgiving!
