As this Thanksgiving day has been approaching- I have really been putting deep thought into what I can say that I am truly thankful for. Something short and sweet to explain everything in a nutshell.
The usual things: health, family, friends, ect. of course are things that I am always thankful for, but what has made this year different. What has separated this year from the past 22. After about a week of soul searching and hours on the treadmill thinking, I found it. The one thing that I am thankful for this year and sets every other year apart.
This year, I am thankful for options. This might sound a little off, so let me explain.
I am thankful for the fact that my entire life, I have had options. I am the one who chooses where to go, what to do and who to ultimately be. I always have had the option to let me parents into my life and I am thankful that I allowed them. My brother and I had the option to be friends and we are best friends. I had the option to go to New York after graduation and its been an adventure and a learning experience. I had the option to go wherever I wanted for college. I have the option to lead my life down whatever path I want. Not everyone has the luxury to make these decisions and to have different options.
For this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the options in my life. Also, for the option to write this blog. Because, sometimes, I do not know what I would do without it. This white screen with my words on it has turned into my safe haven. Where no matter what I have to say, the computer never says no. I can write what ever I feel, and for this option, I am thankful.
Peace, love and many more options to come...
