Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. A basic statement given the fact I do not know anyone reading this, but for me it means the same here as it does when I speak it to my family and friends. Caring and loving are universal it applies the same for strangers or family and friends. Some call me naive, gullible weak, dumb the list is long. There are a few that get it, they understand that loving your fellow man is a privilege not a requirement. Today is not just about love, but what we are thankful for. For me I am grateful everyday because throughout my life there were many, many opportunities for my life to end, whether by accidents with cars, motorcycles, drugs or alcohol there was even a point in my life were I tried to end it myself… rock bottom they call it. I don’t know why or how I was spared, I used to feel I wasn’t religious enough, but over time learned that beliefs and faith do not need any requirements, attendance or donations it’s all inside ourselves, it’s our choice no one else’s, but maybe today I will be a little more grateful for the amazing life I live.
