Thanksgiving Thanks

Thanksgiving. What a happy time for so many families across America. You feast together with your loved ones and heartily dig into a numerous number of luxuries; pies, mashed potatoes, pasta, yams, salad, bread, corn, apple, cranberry, and of course-- turkey. But Thanksgiving was a day about celebrating differences in culture too. Depending on what family you're from, you might be eating food from your own family's ethnicity or just trying out all kind of new dishes.

And if you feel that your Thanksgiving dinner isn't that great of a meal, (All my life, mine was too. I ate cup noodles last year. Alone. ) know that the first Thanksgiving had mostly just deer, corn, shellfish, roasted meat and cranberries.

Abraham Lincoln asked us to give thanks to our blessings on the fourth Thursday of November. I'm thankful of the wonders of the universe. I'm crammed into a consciousness that I can't comprehend one bit. I don't think it makes much sense at all and I doubt it'll ever make sense. In addition to that, I can not express my gratitude enough for stories. Books, television shows, audio recordings, experiences-- anything that can house a story is something I'm thankful for.
One more thing. I'm thankful for what have been and what is. Any life or any tale is something remarkable. I'm thankful for the perseverance of any living or non-living thing that ever was once here. And hey! I'm thankful for you actually reading this right now. That's pretty impressive in itself.
And I kind of am a bit happy that there is something other than nothing, even though still no one is sure why.


[But of course, I have to acknowledge that Thanksgiving is a completely sole American holiday. A small apology to anyone who's from Britain or Canada. ]


Well, Happy Thanksgiving! I sure hope you're not like me and is out there having a great time on this November 28th, but even if you're not.. No. I can't offer anything positive about spending it alone and doing it nothing. At least we'll be in it together?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE. 


Now go have fun! Sleep well and don't die admist your dreams. You wouldn't want to let the bugs bite and devour you whole whilst you sleep.


With love,
