We all have our problems, different people, different places but problems nonetheless. What we need to do is focus on what we have, these things might seem quite small and unimportant but they are ours and for that alone we should be grateful. We could be like those we've all seen and thought I'm glad that's not me. Well if not for a break here and there we could be that which we are glad we are not, so remember the next time you are feeling unfortunate there is always those who are very much worse off and I'll bet that some of them are grateful for what they have no matter how little it might be. Eat well my friends and enjoy your family and friends because next year we may not have some of them, so count your blessings and at least think of those who have far less than you do.
Happy Thanksgiving,

I am extremely thankful for what I have.
My greatest worry is the very things that I have greatest reason to be grateful for, I may lose.
I am absolutely grateful in the meantime, but I still worry greatly.
And they say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, and I agree with that, in fact I agree with that so strongly that it's almost a song of my life, but it is also true that it's easier to not have something to be grateful for in the first place than to have it and lose it. Once you've had something and you lose it it's hard to go back to living without it, but to never have it in the first place you don't know what you're missing.
Anyways, thanks for the lovely sentiment. Over here in the U.K. we don't celebrate Thanksgiving and I wish we had our own British equivalent because I think Thanksgiving is a beautiful celebration.
