Giving Thanks

     Thanksgiving is is the time of the year to be thankful for something in your life.   It is a time for reflecting and contemplating of the past.  I know that gas prices are high and depression is rising because of the holiday season but we should be able to look past all the material objects and see what is really important.  I think that a healthy outlook is to remember what is really important to you in your life and how that really impacts your life.  I guess you can say since I have been close to the brink of death many times in my life that I have come to this perspective easier than some.  I have had time to contemplate what my life would have been like without the love and people that I have in my life.  I will be celebrating 29 years of marriage to the love of my life in January.  We've known each since the fifth grade.  We have a beautiful, extremely inteligent, creative, and loving daughter.  We have friends and family who love us and we them, very much.  With this much love you can never go wrong.  I know that if I did not have this much support in my life, I would not be here.  I am here because of my loved ones and I am staying here to love and support them.  My point is, material objects come and go, but Love is forever. 

         I am thankful for my loved ones and all their support.  I am also thankful for all my friends on Gather.  I owe so much to y'all, because I have become very attached to so many of you who have been so supportive of me in my articles.  Thanks to each and every one of you.  You know who you are.  That's right you.  LOL  

     Please join me and tell everyone what you are thankful for.
