Today is about being thankful, I think. It is easy to dwell on all the don’t haves. Sometimes you have to turn it around and remember the do haves.
So even though this past year I have lost a lot of things, I am grateful I had things to lose.
The connections may not be there anymore, but I am thankful for the time I was able to connect, the times I could smile, the times I could be happy, the times I could imagine what could be, even if they never could be the way I saw it.
I am happy I experienced his smile and his voice, and that I can still conjure those up. Being able to experience those things and lose them is so much better than not having them at all. I can’t imagine a world without those.
I choose to be happy as I want them to be happy too.
