Thanksgiving

As I look around to watch my two little girls play, I realize that despite this difficult year, I do have things to be thankful for. It's very easy to dwell on the darkness and woes of the world. Sometimes you have to really struggle to find all the good things in life. Thanksgiving is more than the hassle of driving to grandma's and eating in excess. It's really not about the dinner at all anymore. It's a day to be thankful for what we have, as opposed to what we don't have... I am finally starting to realize that. At least I still have a grandma to visit. It's extremely difficult to change my congenital, cynical, pessimistic attitude into a positive one, but I'm really trying to see that glass as 1/8 % full now... Progress... :)
