Since it's Thanksgiving I decided to write about what I am thankful for. First I'm very thankful for my family. Without my family I am nobody. I don't know where or who I would be if I didn't have my three kids to mold and shape me into being a Mom and a role model in this lifetime. I am thankful for laughing! Without being able to laugh out loud and laugh at myself (which took many years but I can now do) is the greatest feeling of all.
We as people do not take advantage of such a gift. Some are to caught up in their lives and jobs and social status. It is not worth giving up such a gift. I'm thankful for animals mostly my dogs and the unconditional love they give. They have pulled me through some tough times and at times I wish they could talk back. Maybe that's why our pets are so special, it's because they don't talk they just love you no matter what. If I could wish one thing this holiday season it would be "world peace"! I'm kidding it was just a passing thought of a pageant question. Seriously I would wish that on everyday not just the holidays that everyone and every living thing gets fed and has plenty of food throughout the year. To be a parent and have to worry about your child being hungry is worse than any one thing I can imagine. Material things are just that, material which equals replaceable. You can not look into your child's eyes and say "I'm sorry honey but mommy can't feed you today." That's a horrible thought but it's happening all over the world and right in your own backyard. Sure it's wonderful to volunteer and help feed the homeless and I'm sure they appreciate it very much but what about the next day and the day after that. Where is everyone when they are hungry again? Out of sight out of mind. Not good people, we need to step up to the plate so to speak no pun intended and take care of others that are less fortunate. It could be you at any given time and how would it make you feel if not one person gave you a helping hand? My personal opinion is it's just not right to think that doing a good deed once a year gets you off the hook for the rest of the 364 days. What gets my goat are the people with so much money that they just can't part with some of it to build a shelter or open a kitchen for the homeless to get a hot meal everyday. You can't take the money with you when your time is up so why not put it to some good use and kill two birds with one stone. Pleases God and help others? I challenge people that have more than enough to do something for someone else and see how it makes you feel and more important how you made the person that you helped feel. So, those are my thoughts on giving and what I'm thankful for. Happy Holidays all and God Bless Everyone, cause we all need it. Believe that!
