T-day

Nov 25, 2006 10:39

First off i hope everyone enjoyed thier t-day. It seems that thanksgiving is becoming bastardized holiday to me. An excuse to get together with family and not much else. Such is the danger of living in the land of plenty. We have become complacent, and unapprecieative of the many blessing that we have. The ability to get together with family, (ignoring travel , and governmental restrictions), the sheer bounty (a plentitude of food) of the holiday feast is taken for granted so often. I dont do podiiums but we should be thankful that we can enjoy a turkey a piece, stuffing and pie(sweet beautiful desserts may you live in my gut untill i expell you). I say often that if you bring me your hungry i will feed them, but the t-day festivities are a celebration in excess, which i am all in favor of seeing as i reap the benefits (and the pounds). I found myself today making small talk with relatives and parents not apprecieating the closeness i can enjoy with them at will. It is a simple thing to deny someone access to thier family and many families do this out of choice, my aggravation at my family is misplaced. I now choose to enjoy thier company. Past decisions aside. today is a day to apprecieate the bounty placed before me. I will do such insomuch as tradition will allow. Stones and birds. Though the face of the stone be rough the heart be solid.

In hopes that this finds you all in the company of those who love you.
