Many of us carry around a lot of pain inside.
Some of it physical: our bodies have started acting up and there is not much we can do to stop it.
A lot of it is internal: we have lost loved ones, family members and friends.
We suffer emotional pain from war, hatred, and famine. It hurts even more because most times there’s nothing we can do about it.
It never seems to stop.
But there is always room to be thankful.
Today — and every day.
Our blessings really outweigh our pains, even if we fail to see that on a daily basis.
This Thanksgiving, don’t underestimate the amount of your burdens. But don’t let them turn you away from the hope and beauty around you.
Somewhere a happy baby is being played with. Somewhere there is sunset on a lake and snow on the slopes. Someone somewhere is falling in love, getting married, saying “I love you.” Someone is growing old with someone else, dancing to Glenn Miller or Sting or Alan Jackson.
Someone is giving a hug to someone who needs one, someone is getting rocked to sleep, someone is wishing on a star.
There is a lot to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving, next Thanksgiving, and every day in between.
Find a way to be happy this wonderful day.
No one deserves it more than you.
Humoring the Goddess 
Happy Thanksgiving! ˚ʚ♡🥧🍁🍂☕️🦃♡ɞ˚

You make me feel wonderful. I know I could spend all day every day crying and lamenting things in my life — but we are so much more than the incidents that take over our mental day. Let’s go through all the ups and down together!

I list three things to be thankful for every morning. A great way to start the day. My dogs are usually on the list, even thought they get me up at 6:30 every morning.

HAHa — my dogs too! Sometimes I can go back to sleep after I feed them and let them out around 6-ish … other times I’m just a vegetable on the couch for the first two hours of the day!
