As the weather gets colder and Thanksgiving nears it is important to reflect on the things that matter the most to us. Giving thanks is not just about trying to let others know you appreciate them, but it is also about showing them that you appreciate them. This does not involve going out and getting things for the people; nor does it involve any extravagant act of kindness. It can be the simplest act of just respect or kindness. Just showing people that they are appreciated and that they matter. I believe that is the essence of what Thanksgiving truly is.
I would like to thank all of my friends and family for helping me with every day of my life. I cannot tell you how much you mean to me and how much of an impact you have on who I am as a person.
I hope that everyone is able find someone to be thankful for. I hope that if you have someone you both let them and show them about how thankful you are. Show your appreciation not because its what’s expected, do it because you actually generally want to.
Although people may not be the only thing you are truly thankful for, they are the ones that will appreciate your thanks the most. I myself was not always the best at expressing my gratitude for others. That is definitely something that I have had to work on in my life. I want to thank all of you for being accepting of me and my opinion. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
