When I was young I believed I was destined to be Great! I thought I would be the one to change the world! I wanted to do BIG things. Big humanitarian things. I felt these feelings with every ounce of my being. Then in college I veered onto a path that would change my life forever. Even though I met and married the love of my life the path I ventured on became dark and windy. I no longer felt like I would be great, let alone change the world. I was in a downward spiral losing everyone and everything around me. during that time I had a hard time finding anything to be thankful about.
Now it's hard to imagine that I once felt that way-so hopeless. No matter what kind of life we are currently living there is always hope and always something to be thankful for. As I sit here with my family I smile because I have many things to be thankful for; my family,my home,my friends,wisdom,a job,health,a car and much much more but more importantly my happiness and willingness to live,really LIVE.
13-14 years ago I would've never thought I would get to where I am now. Brimming with thankfulness and gratitude. From where I was at then I did do big things! I changed my world for the better. I had finally found a fork on that damn dark path and the one I chose had a light that I could at the time dimly see-but it was there at least! And here I am-here we are gathered round on thanksgiving night happy,warm,full and knowing how far we've come and how far we will go.
