Thanksgiving.... we sure do have a lot to be thankful for. We are certainly blessed. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of that: I am blessed. I had a wonderful time yesterday at my parents place. My sister and her family joined us for thanksgiving supper. My...what a year its been. It sure could have been a very different thanksgiving. That was something we talked about over supper. We're simply thankful for life and being alive. My niece could have left us....BUT SHE DIDN'T! She's in maintenance mode which is exciting. I could have left this earth...BUT I'M STILL HERE! Thankfully. I must still have a purpose yet to fulfill.
We take things for granted. We just expect it. I was talking with a friend about a situation and we realize that people just don't appreciate what they have for the most part. Many people have grown up in this thing (meaning church) that we don't know how it would be like to not have the opportunity for spirituality. We take freedom for granted. We don't understand how fleeting freedom can be until we don't have it anymore.
This blog is getting pretty sober.....I hope it's thought provoking though. Many times we take our health for granted (I've said that here before) until we end up lying in a hospital bed hooked up to monitors and IV's incapable to do much for ourselves.
Days of just expecting things to be just around us are over. We mustn't take for granted anything anymore. We must become proactive in every sense of the word. We must learn what it means to be aware, be involved and enjoy the journey. We know the ending but we must always be in the moment in order to enjoy the journey.
Let's be thankful--- full of thanks.
