Full of Thanks

What am I thankful for?

For the last few years, I feel like Thanksgiving has only been about the food and has excluded the "thanks" as well as the "giving".  Then Christmas comes and it's all about receiving...  I want to celebrate holidays differently, but I've learned that I can decide that for myself but I cannot decide that for my loved ones.

Speaking of the ones I love, for them I am thankful.

I am thankful for waking up this morning with the ability to express thanks.  I am thankful for how the Creator made me because even the parts I want to change serve a purpose for the journey designed just for me.  I am thankful for my mind and how it processes things.  I am thankful for the ability to learn.  I am thankful that I can adapt.  I am thankful for the ability to see, to comprehend. I am thankful that I can change.

I am thankful for my freedom.  I am most thankful for freedom.
