Thanksgving

It's funny that we celebrate Thansgiving for one day and we rush toward Christmas on the next day. Christmas decorations appeared in stores even before Thanksgiving. We are thankful for one day. The next day we push to get to the front of the line, get impatient if we have to wait in a line, etc. Everything there after is about Christmas. Everything is commercialized. It would be good if we truly remember why we celebrate, but it's only about presents and gifts. We forget to be kind. We forget that money is not everything. We forget to celebrate Jesus' birth. We forget. I forget.

I am so grateful for my life. The friends I have. The family who loves me. I am grateful for the opportunities I've had in my life. I'm so excited to be done with school. Oh, the places I'll go. The people I will meet. Thanksgiving. This should be a part of my daily living.
