Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I won’t be able to go home, but I’m still thankful for so many things.
I’m thankful for the life that I have. For the ability to breath, to drink, to eat, to smile, to sleep (and wake up), to ponder, to wonder, to feel. So thanks for my life. Thanks for my yesterdays, my tomorrow, and the rest of my days. Thanks for the hope of a better day. But thanks for the day that you’ve given me now. Thanks for the food that sustains me, the clothes that cover me, and the place to lay my head. Thanks for the pain and regret that I’ve felt throughout the years. Thanks for the understanding that comes with the passage of time.
Thanks for turmoil and for peace. For solitude and loneliness. Thanks for my emotions – my up-and-down heart. Thanks for my reason, for giving me the ability to see through the fog of life. Thanks for giving me faith. Thanks for hope. Thanks for love. Thanks for my family – my father, my mother, and my sister. Thanks for my father’s life, and the peace of my mother’s death. Thank you for my sister’s support. Thanks for my brethren, my friends, my associates, acquaintances. Thanks for those people who I will never see again – fortunately and unfortunately. Thanks for confrontations and for battles. Thanks for my foes and enemies through the years.
So many things I can thank You for… my country, my countrymen. The struggle, failure, and success. Thanks for the opportunities taken and for those lost.
Most of all, thanks for giving me a mind and a map to decide where I want to go. But thanks for the one-way ticket to Heaven.
Happy Thanksgiving Day.
