I have always been taught this season is about giving and being thankful. As I have done a little research on our "First Thanksgiving" this year I have learned quite a bit. Where the tradition started and where it is now are in my opinion two separate beliefs. I am thankful that the tradition that I have come to love over the years is that of happiness and family. This also helps me remember those who are not as fortunate as I may be. Too often throughout my day do I think "if only I could...things would be better". I never take the time to say, "I am blessed to be where I am". I think we should take this time and instead of stress and worry about the nonsense of our lives, start living like there may not be another day and we have to make the best of it. Too many times do I see people standing on the side of the road with a sign and immediately think "they should just go get a job". I am so quick to judge without knowing their background or who they really are. I do however always think of how sad it is that they feel that they have no other choice but to basically hold a target that states "judge me". I am sorry that this is a little deep so early but as I sit here this morning after reading these articles I just wanted to voice how important it is to remember we do have it good in this country. I am thankful for the privileges that I was brought up with and the people that have been in my life to teach me to have a soft heart. I feel compelled to give to those less fortunate this season and I hope that you will also.. I hope to bring this into my everyday life as the year ends and a new one begins. I am going to start with the company I work for, Telepathic Graphics. We will be holding a celebration on January 9th, 2014 and there we will also be taking donations of clothing, which started as a "bring your sweaters you may not have wanted from that loving Aunt of yours"...I personally loved the idea because this will happen to most of us! I hope to turn this donation into something much more and together as a company and community I hope we can bring clothing and our unneeded things collecting dust in attics so that someone else can appreciate them like we once did. So I ask you this year to take a step back and be thankful for everything you have. I know I sure will. I hope you all have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!
A little something to bend your mind
Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?
