obligatory giving of thanks

No, but seriously. I know I've been MIA for a few months now, but I have had so many blessings to be thankful for... and it just so happens that there's conveniently a day to acknowledge them all!

I'm just going to do a blanket "Thank you God!" for all those simple moments of peace that come my way when I need them the most. In the midst of all the confusion and chaos of life, the random stillness of a deep breath, and that feeling that no matter what happens, I am unconditionally loved... it means everything.

If one could only learn to appreciate the little things...
A song that takes you away, for there are those who cannot hear.
The beauty of a sunset, for there are those who cannot see.
The warmth and safety of your home, for there are those who are homeless.
Time spent with good friends, for there are those who are lonely.
A walk along the beach, for there are those who cannot walk.
The little things are what life is all about.
Search your soul and learn to appreciate.
Shadi Souferian

Of course, I could go on all day about family and friends, my cat, food, clothing, shelter, music, school, smiles, etc... but that's all a given. I am the most thankful for the one from whom all the "little things" come. The Creator of heaven and earth, who for some reason placed me right here, right now. And life is a lot to be thankful for!
