in a place where they do not observe, reserve, or celebrate the best holiday in my book, i still give thanks. every day i wake up and give thanks for another day in the life, my life.
.
i am thankful for GOD, my mother, my father, my brother, my life. I am thankful for my best friend, my breath, and my sexy six. I am thankful for Toy and Jai, Jin and Jay. I am thankful for Yoshi. I am thankful for my experiences, my opportunities, and my travel experience(s). I am thankful for my generational gaps in my family (yes, they are ridiculously significant to me). I am thankful for love...
.
i could go on for seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, generations, centuries, eternity .....
Thanksgiving is not just a day, it is a lifelong experience.
.
I am thankful for life, but surprisingly, I am thankful for death. I am thankful for babies, yet I am thankful for adults. I am thankful for lyrics, and I am thankful for rhythms. I am thankful for food, but also thankful for hunger. I am thankful for sight, but also thankful for blindness. I am thankful for hearing, but deafness. I am thankful for endowments, and struggles. I am thankful for debates and agreements. I am thankful for intellect and ignorance. I am thankful for all that makes me whole, and the things that make me incomplete ... for those things are what keep me living instead of merely existing.

happy thanksgiving,
what are you thankful for?
