*** GIVING THANKS ***

Thanksgiving is the best.

Thanksgiving is one last chance to dwell in an introspective, love-filled space before the rampant commercialism of Christmas turn us all into mall-dwelling spend-monkeys.

I am thankful for so much this year. I'm not sure if I have more to be thankful for, or if I'm simply learning to be more appreciative. But I'm thankful for damn near every synaptic impulse that hits my noggin through the day. From the taste of my morning coffee to the last letter of net-text, before I prepare for sleep.

I just feel so lucky to have consciousness. (A lot of the universe isn't nearly that lucky.) When I add in the love, joy, adventure and creative outlets in my life. I just have to pinch myself.

Thank you for being a part of my blessed life.

In Canada, Thanksgiving was last month, so I really can't share in your joy of the lack of crass christmas commercialism now [henceforth referred to as CCC].... it's already started. I think there should be a law passed that CCC may not start until december. I swear, they start the day after rememberance day, if that long. As soon as the hallowe'en decorations come down, the christmas ones go up. *rant rant rant rave rave rave* Thanks for giving thanks. :)

woo, and I thought it was wacky when they put lights up here during halloween week... go figure!

I really need to quit bitching.

Thanksgiving is such a non-holiday for me. I guess I never really sit down and really think about what is good in my life, so I think tomorrow maybe I'll try and write it down, so when I get bitchy I can pull it out and mull over it.

Anyhow, this idea was kind of spurred by so many people talking about Thanksgiving in their LJs. I have to say, I was pushed over the edge by your last entry. So, thanks.

Have a great day tomorrow! Hope ya eat so much you'll be thankful your top pant button can be undone so you can breathe ;)
