Welcome...
to the crazy planet of my mind
Thanksgiving: The most overlooked holiday and one of the only holidays in which there are no gifts or candy to be had, but rather the gift should be the expression of appreciation for the people and comforts we have in this life.
While society is rushing about, putting the individual needs ahead of our communities, we are missing the point. One of the greatest gifts we need right now is healing. We need to acknowledge the pains life has revealed to us over the last few years (and throughout our lives) and we need to be thankful for those of us who came through to the other side, scars and all. We need to express gratitude to our families and the people we “care for”. Life has not been easy and that is okay. The opportunity for growth and choice presents itself when confronted with difficult paths. We can choose to bath in the old responses that lead to wars and hatred or marinate in contemplation that there just might be a better way. I write these words for all of us. There is always more. Gratitude does not escape me. Thank you!
