Something to be thankful for

Alright so let's get back into the regular swing of things and start posting again! I hope everyone had a thankful thanksgiving holiday. There is so much to be thankful for, and we should count our blessings everyday. Ironically over this thanksgiving holiday I found something more to be thankful for: STORIES. I had the opportunity to sit down this past weekend and chat for hours with an elder couple born in the 1920's, hear stories, and look through their albums. It was fascinating to see how things have changed: clothes, cars, homes, technology, society, ideologies, politics, etc. All the stuff I was used to learning about through textbooks was now in live HD attached with emotions, facial expressions, and so many personal stories. During this short encounter I realized the basic human concept of living is the same. We all want things to turn out okay for us, and sometimes we may even spend too much time worrying how it will turn out. However, one thing is for sure in the end, it all works out.

Want to know for yourself, then go talk to someone who has lived a lifetime, be it your grandparents, uncle, aunt, cousin, family friend, etc. You'll soon realize that life isn't meant to be whiled away worrying and over analyzing. Its meant to be enjoyed...One thing is for sure, it'll be fine in the end and if its not fine than its not the end!
