My old refrigerator died a couple days ago. Thanksgiving week-- worst timing ever, right?
But I choose to look at the things to be grateful for:
1. A new refrigerator (that was on sale!).
2. My buddy (and his pickup truck) who helped me move in my new refrigerator.
3. Beautiful weather while unloading the new refrigerator.
I love Thanksgiving. Partly because I enjoy preparing, eating, and sharing great food. But also because I like the idea of focusing on things to be grateful for. I try to be thankful on a daily basis, but around this time of year I especially feel gratitude and appreciation for all the things I'm so fortunate to have.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
PS-- For those of you who don't have much to be thankful for right now, I am truly sorry for your pain. I've been there, believe me. I've been suicidal many times in the past. For some reason I'm still here.
If you are still breathing, there's hope.
