This year Thanksgiving is a little different than usual. We had a family celebration a week or so ago, and then we all went our separate ways and are having individual Thanksgivings. My brother and cousins are supposed to be arriving in a bit for our Chinese food Thanksgiving (read: best idea ever) but before then I just wanted to publicly say how thankful I am for... Basically everything. I sometimes have issues not being content (what am I doing with my life? Why have I accomplished nothing in the past decade? Ahhhh!) but... I have a remarkably wonderful life.
This morning I got up and (after cleaning the house) went on a run. And then went to the cemetery. Maybe not the cheeriest Thanksgiving but a good one. I loved having the quiet. The time to pray, to be thankful, to simply... Be. The Lord has given me so much, and in a holiday that is usually filled with chatter and coffeecake it was nice to have a morning of just me and the Lord.
So. Happy Thanksgiving. May yours be as awesome as mine! =)
