There's always tomorrow
The beauty of a new day is that we can correct the mistakes of yesterday. And think how blessed you are to have another day when many people didn't wake up today.
I hear stories about people depressed or unhappy or unfulfilled and I empathize. At many times in life I have been there and I still struggle but in this thanksgiving season I realize these are others that are going through real problems.
I was able to afford to take off work with pay and travel to see family. I didn't have to worry about the money. I had a family that was happy to see me and to go home to. Plenty of friends who have invited me to spend time with them back in la. I was able to listen to tons of music and come bearing gifts.
I am immensely thankful for everything. I have a hope for the future. I remember a few years ago when it was very bleak. I didn't go hungry today. I didn't have a negative outlook on life.
I encouraged everyone to find something good about your life today and if you can't try to muster up the energy to be happy for someone else in your life. Thankfulness needs to be everyday not just turkey day!
