What am I thankful for?

Thankfulness.

It heals like cool aloe gel on a bad burn. It soothes and takes away life’s painful sting. It’s the power that allows you to regroup when facing ruin. It gives you traction when your life’s wheels are spinning. And it allows you to catch your breath when someone kicks you in the gut.

Thankfulness.

It’s Vitamin C for life’s cold. It’s calling the cops to shut down your pity party. Thankfulness changes your paradigm from “poor me” to “why not me?” It’s the secret power of survivors. It turns the worst moments into your best. It’s like the Enterprise’s shields when the Klingons attack.

Thankfulness.

This Thursday, we’ll sit down and gather for the feast. We’ll take a few hours away from our troubles and focus on what’s good about life. Our batteries will recharge from the fellowship, food and family. We’ll stop thinking of ourselves and be grateful for what we have and for what we once had. We’ll eat turkey, dressing and casseroles made with mystery ingredients. And for dessert, we’ll have stuff ourselves with football and pumpkin pie.

Thankfulness.

It’s what I’m thankful for
