~ Emmaline, my valentine
~ a job
~ family and friends
Even as I write that small list, my heart and soul grumble under their breaths; but I am grateful for many things. I consciously try to remember the small joys in my life that make me grateful for the life. Love Affairs was created for that purpose.
Like all of us, I want more. I want life to be better and happier and full of ease. I dont think it's a selfish thing we do when we want those things that we believe will make us happier. For a want of a connection, for the safety and happiness of those we love, and for fear of the unknown....we go after more and often forget the abundance we already possess.
To those out there that have a hard time finding one thing to be thankful for on this day or any day....I understand.
It's not to be a millionaire that you dream, but of full cupboards and refrigerator. Of money for rent or doctor visits. Of one Christmas present for your kid so she didn't hate the holiday so much.
It's not parties and galas of hundreds of people you wish you could attend, but a movie with a man or woman holding your hand and stares with love and lust at you.
It's not running a marathon or climbing a mountain that you pray to God for when your eyes first open in the morning, but for the pain to leave your back or hips or legs or heart or mind just so you can walk to the bathroom, pee and have a good day.
I understand. And I am hoping for the both of us. I don't know you, but please know that I am grateful for you. You color my world. You reflect all that is good about life and love and God. And you are the reason I am still alive. Because I may not know you now, but I am LOOKING FORWARD to a moment when I do. And I don't do that....plan for the forward. So, please remember that I am thankful for and love you for simply being you.
Happy Thanksgiving.
