Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Friends and Family!

Here's wishing everyone happiness, contentment and laughs this holiday. I know there's lots of problems and hypocrisy with the origins of this day of thanks, and we shouldn't ignore that aspect, but we are able to acknowledge the past as well as embrace the present and look to the future.
I like to think of this holiday as a nice chance to take stock. And, taking the good and the bad, all in all, breathing a nice sigh of relief and recognizing the bittersweet beauty of the life we're leading or dwelling in. Nothing new really, this message is pretty standard, but sometimes forgotten or shoved to the background of our busy lives.
Personally, I realize that I have so very much to be thankful for. Sure, there's things that I wish were not so, circumstances that seem unbearable, and events that I wish I could alter- but on the whole life is pretty wonderful. I am loved, truly, honestly, unconditionally. I love- I love selflessly so many amazing people- people I consider myself lucky to have the good fortune of knowing or being related to. And the future looks bright.
There will always be money issues, health issues and relationship troubles. But as long as I have my faculties- the brain, talent and ingenuity I have been gifted with, earned, or been taught, there will always be a way to find funding. There will be faith and medicine and advances in science. There will ever be communication, a chance to work things out and improve.
This site is part of my thanksgiving. It's a tribute really, to all of those who heve supported me and continue to watch with crossed fingers as I take my first steps into a larger world. Thank you all, once again, for the love, the laughs, the applause and the hugs. I won't need flowers as long as I have your smiles- I won't need millions unless the currency is embraces. Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
