Thanksgiving

Each day I wake up and am thankful to be alive. Today is a new day. I'm thankful to have the person sleeping next to me that cares that I am there. I am thankful for the house I live in provided by my loving family. My parents have given me the gift of perspective and I am thankful for that. My parents have given me the gift of empathy and I am thankful for that. I am thankful for the opportunities that are arising in my life daily. I find them overwhelming at times but always welcomed. I am thankful for the knowledge that I so easily take for granted. I forget others don't have either money or accessibility to get the education I am so lucky to receive. My spiritual choice was never decided for me and that I am eternally grateful for.
Each day when I wake up I do not know how the day will go. Today is a new day. I do not know how I will feel, who I will meet, or even what I believe. I am still grateful that everyday I wake up. I am grateful for the food I have to keep me healthy. I am thankful for all the love that surrounds me and supports me. I am thankful for the ability to write this right now. My gratitude for acceptance is beyond words. I am thankful for my knowledge of the natural world. I get scared humans are loosing that connection. I think knowledge of flora and fauna keep us human. Without that I don't know what we will be.
Each day I wake up and try to think of all the things I'm thankful for. Today is a new day.
