Worthless and Weak

Happy Thanksgiving. I love thanksgiving. Basically, you quit doing whatever it is you're doing, eat massive amounts of good food, and sit on the couch and watch football. What better possible holiday is there? It isn't overcommercialized like Christmas is, (although one must note that by Thanksgiving we're already being bombarded with xmas ads and the like), and its a great time to get together with your family. The real purpose, of course, is to take time out to be thankful for things. So, I'm going to take this time to count my blessings.

First of all, I am thankful for my family. My family is simply fantastic. They are always there for me, and most of all I know that they all love me. I know it, without any doubt, and I am incredibly thankful for that. In a world where you dno't always know what everybody thinks of you, and where everything isn't exactly as it seems, its great to know that there are four people and a dog in this world who unconditionally love you, no matter what. So thank you very much, family!

Secondly, I am thankful for my friends. My friends are all great people. Many of them really make an effort to show the world that they care, and many of them make specific actions to cheer me up. So thank you all!

Thirdly, I'm not going hungry, and I'm not poor. Now, I'm not exactly the richest person in the world, but I do have many things, (and access to many things) that many other people don't have. And, althought "things" generally don't make you happy, I am lucky that I have what I have, and I should be thankful for them

Fourthly, I have my health. Which is good.

Now, there really are more things that I should be thankful for. I know that I am so blessed, and that the number of friends I have who I know really care is outstanding, and I am incredibly thankful for them. But one more thing that I'm perhaps more thankful for than any other is my future. I have a futrue ahead of me. I really don't know what will happen to me, nobody is, but I know that I have one, and that anything can happen. And that mystery, of finding out what lies ahead is one of the best things in life. So, here's to everything that we all are thankful for. A great society we live in, family, friends, and above all life itself. I know that in my life I have so much, and I just want to tell the world or God or whatever gave it to me that I really am thankful, and that my life really is great.
