I hope everyone is having a
fantastic day enjoying time with family and friends! I have to admit when I was
much younger I was not a big fan of Thanksgiving, I used to view it as a day
that you had to get dressed up for {which I honestly didn’t mind}, a holiday
where it seemed like you had to wait an eternity for Thanksgiving dinner to be
ready, and a holiday that you had to spend with your family and every single
thing was closed. I think the older you get the more you come to appreciate
your family, the holidays, and just everything in life that you took for
granted when you were younger because you didn’t realize the true importance of
certain things.
There is a big difference
between saying you are thankful for something then truly realizing why you are
thankful for the things you are and sincerely meaning it; realizing this difference
seems to come age. Like every single person I have had good and bad experiences
throughout life and I honestly wouldn’t change any of them. The bad experiences give you perspective, show your true character, morals, and what you are made of;
the bad make you that much more grateful for the good and once you get passed
to bad to a place where you are truly happy you understand the need for the bad
experiences.
Today I can honestly say and
truly mean that I am very thankful for my family, friends, the opportunities I
have, and of course my blog readers, and so many other things.
“Real abundance is
found when we join hands with those we love.
Thanksgiving is a
circle of memories.
Thanksgiving is a
time for remembering and appreciating the special people in our lives.
Our home is warmed by
the love of the family and friends.”
