mistymasseyThis hasn't been the easiest year I've ever had. There have been so many times that I've wanted to throw my arms up and admit defeat, screaming at the skies in fury at how badly fate turned for me when others had it so well. But in the calm after the dinner, it occurs to me that even on the worst days, I still have so much to be thankful for.
I have a husband and son who love me, and like to spend time with me. I have parents to whom I could turn if the worst happened. I have a sister with whom I am crazy close, and a darling niece who reminds me of the joy of childhood. I have friends, real ones who care what happens to me and not just what they can get out of me. I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet, teeth in my mouth and food in my pantry. There's a little money in the bank, and even though things are tight this year, there will still be presents under the tree. I can dance and have my muscles move the way I ask them to. And I'm most thankful that tomorrow is another day, one in which incredible things can happen.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Date: 2010-11-26 06:30 am (UTC)I had a moment like that a few months back. My husband and I were feeling really down due to some difficult challenges. A friend came to visit and John mentioned something about being down, and the friend laughted in his face and listed a bunch of things we had--marriage (happy even), children, published books, etc.--none of which he had.
Really opened my eyes and made me realize I should be more grateful for a lot of stuff!
