Thanks.

    Thanksgiving passes every year and I never really thought about what I am thankful for. I found that disappointing because that is one of the main points of Thanksgiving. So, I made this year different. The things I am thankful for are typical and I've been told that. To me, that doesn't matter. If you appreciate something, that's all that really matters.
    I'm thankful for my family and friends. My family is always their to support me in everything I do and they're there for me when times are hard. My friends are bascially an extensions of myself. We enjoy the same things. We've built up so many memories together. They're there for me when I need them and almost never let me down.
    I'm thankful for my good health. Many people in this world are deathly ill. Their lives cut short by something they can't even see; it's awful. Knowing someone who has a deadly illness is bad enough but actually having the illness? The pain and suffering the person and their family must witness... I can't even imagine. I'm grateful I don't any deadly illnesses and I feel sorry for those that do.
   I'm thankful for art. I tried imagining the world without art and I really couldn't. Such a huge chunk of my life is art. Even the smaller aspects of art, the simpler things like color. Living in a black and white world does not compare to a world of color. The wonders that art brings us. The product of human work and expression must be in one's life because without it, life will be dull.
  That's what I am thankful for. For those of you who have not thought about what you are thankful for, think about right now and ask why.
