26 November 2008 - 20:06thanks giving

i will not be able to eat any turkey tomorrow.  Doubt I would find any ham either.  No pumpkin pie.  Stuffing. gravy.  Those are a few things I miss about celbrating Thanksgiving.  What I miss the most is having a day with friends & relatives and being able to spend the time together relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.

My family is too far away at the moment.  I should be able to find a few friends though.  Even without all the extras, I will have to see how I make it a good day.

I do have quite a bit to give thanks for.  Like I’m still breathing.  I have been able to eat for the past six months and so has my family.  We are not sick.  At least not anymore, although I have a small persistant cough that doesn’t want to go away.  I found some temporary work.  Which will continue to put food and shelter over our heads for the coming months.  Might even allow me to do a couple of extra things which I have been putting off for a long while.

The list actually goes on for quite a while.  A few weeks back, I was in a completely miserable spot in my life and didn’t see the silver linings or the light at any tunnel’s end.  My head was to the ground and that was all tha I saw in front of my face.

Its a lot better now.  And while I won’t be able to celebrate the official thanksgiving day with my family, I will have one of my own very soon.  I can’t wait for that one.

Since I havn’t posted any pictures in a terribly long while, I thought I would put one up of a poster I am working on.  This is part of what is going to put some of that food in my mouth.
