Added 2024-11-28 03:48:22 +0000 UTCIt’s almost Thanksgiving. I have mixed feelings about the origination of this holiday, but I do support the idea of people displaying cognitive recognition of their blessings.
If I had enough time I could probably fill up this text box with the maximum allowed characters rambling about all that I’m thankful for. Now, we could also probably all try to one up each other on the sacrifices we have made in life, the unjust situations we have endured, and compare difficulties we’ve overcome, but tomorrow isn’t about that. It’s about gratitude. It’s about showing love, sharing words and acts of thanks, and acknowledging all of the good we have in our life. I’m thankful for a day to do this because without checkpoints in life we can exhaust an insatiable drive. So be sure you are fighting to climb your mountains, but always pausing here and there to savor the views, to thank the trees for their cover, the sun for its light, the rivers for water, and the ground for a place to rest.
I’m thankful for my life, for my family and friends, the animals in my life, and for all that is to come. 💜 Did I mention I’m thankful for the raw landscape and mesmerizing wilderness of Alaska? 😝😍🏔️
Lastly, one of my favorite quotes that embodies the way I want to live is this one:
“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” -John Muir
Only, I want to look at it under the light of the stars too. 😍⭐️💫 I’m thankful for another day to look, tomorrow.
