Thanksgiving. Hm. I think of one thing. Food.
I have to say that after all the football, a short glimpse of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the waiting, turkey on Thanksgiving is phenomenal. It just doesn't taste the same unless it's Thanksgiving day. Call me weird, but I just think that. I can't avoid just piling my plate high with some meat and potatoes, stuffing, casserole, family sauce [cranberry sauce for you losers out there who don't have an awesome name like 'family sauce' to call it] and everything else. The five different kinds of pies. The six different kinds of cookies. There is such a warm, jubilant feeling when the whole family is down here for the holiday.
I'm so happy I don't have to work again until Friday. Granted, Friday is Black Friday, but that's fine. I get to spend time with my family. That's the awesome part.
I guess attached with the idea of writing a Thanksgiving post I should write something I'm thankful for. Truth be told though, I'm thankful for a lot of things. So many things, that I suppose I should organize them into a list. So here we go.
I'm thankful for:
- Family - Sometimes it gets tough, but I would never stop loving anyone in my family. Ever!
- Friends - I don't have a lot, as a matter of fact I only have about two close ones. But they are what help me pick up through the day. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
- Health/Home/Happiness/Freedom - In general, I'm just thankful to be alive and well. Grateful for my freedom and for democracy. And living under a roof :]
Looks like a short list, I know. However, I believe life should be simple. If you have life and love I believe you are ship-shape. Then there isn't anything you can't get through. There are so many things that have happened in the past or recently that I am very thankful for. But listing events and stuff like that would just be silly, now wouldn't it?
So, for whoever is reading this, a happy thanksgiving to you all! Enjoy your holiday, love your food and family, and remember to be thankful for something this season. No matter what it is, just make sure you're thankful for something!
The next time you hear from me, I'll be griping. Because I'll be so full from turkey. And so sad that break will be almost over...
