It is the week of Thanksgiving and like most people I have been thinking of things I am thankful to have in my life.
We have all seen the Facebook daily reminders, which I think are great, but I not interested in sharing the specifics of why I am thankful or for what I am thankful. This leads, in my opinion, to the people feeling responsible to post the same old responses.
Well what if I am truly thankful for chile rellenos? Is that silly? If I told you romantic back story about how we went to have them the night before my son was born because a nurse told us that he was on his way and we should go have a good meal and pack the car to which we both immediately wanted Mexican food.
Would it make more sense and be less silly?
I am of course thankful for the things that make my life worth living. My family, my son, my relative good health and the good health of those I care about, etc...
I am also thankful for thing others would think are silly. Like people reading these posts and telling me they read them. It makes my feeling feel valid.
I am also very thankful that some things are gone from my life and are hopefully to never return.
So I want everyone know that I am thankful for all the people who have given me any support and have guided my life to where I am now. Good or Bad I have been guided by people, events, and the silliest of things have led me to this place.
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope that it is happy, thankful, and restful for everyone.
