Thanksgiving - a day where you celebrate life by showing appreciation for all that compiles to make your life beautiful. People, things, emotions, everything that makes living worthwhile. It is funny though that although some of things I am grateful for stays the same every year - like family, friends and good health, there are some on the sidelines that keep changing.
Gratitude gives you eyes to look at life. We are surrounded - actually we live in the midst of beauty, except we fail to see it. Whenever we are thankful, we are in our own ways expressing love. Without love, without gratitude, happiness is impossible. Here are the list of things I am thankful for this year - yes specifically this year.
1. I am thankful for the influences that stabilize my life. Years ago I was looking for adventure and stability translated to boredom, now I am thankful for that same boredom.
2.I am thankful for now being the shortest in the house, for kids turning into youths.
3.I am thankful for my health, that allows me to work and provide a source of income
4.This year I am especially thankful for a job that lets me interact with people from all walks of life, letting me glimpse into their lives and inspire me to be kind and a better person.
5.I am most grateful for all the people who have walked into my life this year, in real life, in virtual life, and have made me a part of their lives. I never ever take it for granted all the love and care that I receive.
Year after year my list of gratitude keeps on growing, and I am especially grateful for this life- for this opportunity to be part of this throbbing living universe.
The list is never ending - just like the joys in my life, the unlimited love , the consistent support system in my life and a heart that believes that spreading joy warms your heart. Wishing all the people who love me and who I love, a very Happy Thanksgiving!
