I personally like to think of Thanksgiving as a state of mind, its about being happy and thankful for what you have all the time. I feel like many Americans are only thankful in November for what they have because its only that one month thy think about it.
I'm guilty sometimes of it, because I'll be like i need money to get X amount of things paid or done. I do focus on things like that sometimes with all that I have happening right now, but so do other people, instead of just being thankful that at the moment.
Things I'm thankful for right this second:
- My boyfriend, who takes me everywhere I need to go even if he doesn't wanna goto the grocery store.
- Clothing to stay warm.
- A bed and blankets.
- A car, even though it breaks down a lot.
- Work.
- Family.
- Friends.
- Medications for my allergies and congestion.
- Running water.
- My EBT so I can afford to get groceries.
So Thanksgiving to me really is just being thankful for what you have, and being with people you care about while you can.
