October 11, 2015

Rights and privileges. In my opinion, being thankful is taking that which the world would deem as your right, or entitlement, and reclassifying it as a privilege.  To be thankful is to understand that every blessing that you may have is a miracle, and that with only a small change in circumstance it could be lost.  

Family, friends, freedom, health are examples of items that for whatever reason you may enjoy. By comparison, and under the recognition that this item may be an exception to those around you, to be truly thankful is to recognize that whatever you may enjoy comes to you undeservedly.  With that mindset, comes the greatest thing….appreciation for what you are blessed with.

This weekend I enjoyed two wonderful dinners with my beautiful wife, two boys, and friends while also having the chance to get to the advanced voting station prior to heading out to a new job.  What more in life could a person ask for.
