Happy Thanskgiving to Sandhillskids.com! Or Monica and Rollie!
When I was younger, if it wasn't for my teachers, my parents, would make me write about what I was thankful for on Thanksgiving days. I would start with ... I am thankful for ... and my mind would go blank. Not because I was not thankful, but because I wasn't able to think one specific thing that I was thankful for at that very moment. I was thankful for everything. Life would be simpler if we think in terms of "everything". I am thankful for everything that I have in my life. I am also thankful for the things I don't have in my life. However, life would be without joy if we don't have specifics, huh?
I guess it's because I am not younger any more and that I don't have to be under the guidance of parents or teachers, so I feel apt to choose specifics. Most of the years, on Thanksgiving day, I choose three things that I am most thankful for that year. I say choose because that allows me to reflect on million things that I am thankful for and then I have to pick three of them and act upon it. One year, I picked one of the auto mechanics who has been incredibly helpful to me that year and gave his family a basket full of cookies with a thoughtful note. I am always thankful for my husband, my kids, and my life, however, there are always people out there who do special things for you unexpectedly and kindly.
So, this year - here I am. Writing to Sandhillskids.com. I am always offering "if you need my help, let me know" and receive their polite response saying that they will. But I always put a condition "except bogging or writing". I decided to let Monica and Rollie know that I appreciate their efforts and service everyday and wanted to share with everyone that on this Thanksgiving Day, I think about how much more I appreciate Monica for creating Sandhillskids.com and Rollie for adding the voice to the site. Thanks Sandhillskids.com! Also, to those who put their voices into writing so that we could all enjoy reading laughter, smiles, and share ups and downs of life - especially with kids. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
