The real meaning of Thanksgiving gets lost in the shuffle of everything else going on in the world. It is a day to be thankful of the things you have but not necessarily material possessions. I am thankful that my family, as dysfunctional that they are, is together for one more year. I don't think I could ever sit down and make out a list of all of the people I need to thank and I am hoping at least one person could say I have helped them out in some way. I have also found that it is not easy to write through a painkiller haze but maybe I should be more thankful for those.
I am thankful that Molly is still here with me although she is currently hogging the bed and refuses to share my pillows. I don't know if I would have made it through the past year without her.
I have next to nothing but I have more than most. I have family and friends that love me, as dysfunctional as I am, and I could not want or ask for anything more.
