Everyday I celebrate the moment I wake up in the morning - I give praise to God for the opportunity to wake up in awesome health and another day to make a difference in the world, in this lifetime. Thanksgiving is all about family, spending quality time with loved ones and forgetting about all the bullshit going on in the world, if only for one day. Remember, family isn't necessarily blood-related and sometimes family have lots of fur and walk on all 4 legs. LOL!!! I think you know what I mean.
Today, I woke up especially thankful for all that I have in my life and I owe a few individuals for my civil liberties. Now, I know I said that "Violence is not the answer" therefore neither is war. But, I can't help but think about the brave men and women, both young and old, who pay the price to protect this beautiful country of ours. Right now, our country is split with the recent incidents of Ferguson and the situation in the Middle East but, I still have hope and faith that we can learn from our mistakes so that our future can be better and brighter. For those brave military men and women who chose to fight, to sacrifice family time and ultimately pay the price with their lives - I will forever be indebted to you for my life, for my freedom.
For my beautiful family (SOME are shown in the slideshow above) you know who you are EVEN THOUGH you aren't pictured on here - forgive me, My Loves, I rushed to hurry up with this blog so that WE would have more quality time to spend. I am so grateful for all of you and I hope you know just how much you continue to bless my life with your presence, I just hope I am able to bestow the same love and loyalty you have given me. Thank you!!!!
Because of all these blessings in my life, I do what I can on my part to help out in the community as well as pray for those less fortunate than me. Prayer, faith and action are keys to succeed lifting up each other - to rise above stronger and better than we were before. At any rate, without further, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY - BE SAFE, BE HAPPY AND GOD BLESS!!!!
Make those holiday memories! Till next time, I bid you all love, light and compassion.
