Thanksgiving: a time to eat all you want and, simply put, pig out
But you should never forget exactly what Thanksgiving is for
It’s for being grateful and thankful for the things you have
The things I’m grateful for are being able to have a family that cares about me
Having a heart that, no matter how many times it gets broken, is still able to show love
Having a brain that, no matter what is put in front of it, is able to always learn something
Having a mouth that, even though it has the power to destroy, uplifts everyone around
Having hands that are always reaching out and pulling people out of ruts
Having eyes that only see the good in people cause everyone deserves a chance
Having ears that are always open and ready to listen to people’s problems
Having muscles that, no matter how big the problem, are always willing to help you carry it
Having a soul that can go past all the bad and take me right to that silver lining
Finally, I’m thankful for hope that allows me to stay strong and keep an open mind as I press my way towards the glorious goals of my life.
