THANKFUL




It's been two days since Thanksgiving but I don't need an specific spot in the calendar every year to be thankful for all things. This year for reasons I don't need to discuss it's been a tough one, is my first Thanksgiving all by myself and when I say all by myself I mean without any relatives or people who have been part of my life for more than 5 years. I'm gonna admit it, the blues hit me at times, but I gotta say that I'm thankful for this experience, because it's building my character, is helping me getting the tools I need to be the man I want to be regardless of the outcome of my current situation. I'm thankful for all the people who have shown solidarity and love to me during this past few months. I'm thankful for those who didn't take sides and have shown love and support to both me and the other person. I'm thankful for those who have disappeared during this because they served their purpose to make me understand that this World is composed of truthful people and people who only are with you when things are good. I'm thankful because for some reason everywhere I go I find good conversations, laughter, smiles, hugs, handshakes, all those good interactions that makes the human experience more enjoyable. I'm thankful because my parents taught me kindness, forgiveness, honesty (my brutal honesty was my decision they just showed me the regular one ;-P)and righteousness. I'm thankful for the new friends I've made recently. I'm thankful for my roommates because even when they're kind of nonchalant about certain things that they should be they're good, kind people. I'm thankful that you took the time to read this and maybe get to know better the real me. There's no season to be thankful, thankfulness should be a daily exercise, we should give thanks to God ad all those who participate in our lives every single day, I don't think is corny, I don't think is much of an effort, be thankful, be merry, be wise...

Peace and Light...
