I love turkey day. It is the one day where everyone gets together to give thanks and pig out. But it is only good for the food really. Nobody really gives thanks any longer. Which is a real shame. Because I am thankful for many reasons.

1. I am thankful for my family who have given me life onto this earth and has taught me valuable life experiences that I will pass on to my children.

2. I am thankful for my life to which God has enlightened me to be all that I can be and to make the most of it. You only live once you know?

3. I am thankful for friends because without them I would never know what outside love is and how to make a person laugh for certain periods of time.

4. I am thankful for the love that many people have shown me, whether good or bad, it has still taught me something.

5. I am thankful for everything I have going for me, and thank the Heavens that it will only be good and encouraging times from here on out.

I can't really think of much else that I am thankful for, but I am thankful for that too, because I might not have you on the tip of my head, but you are buried treasure, hidden safely within my mind, and nurturing to my soul. Hope there are many of you that can understand that one should be thankful for more than just wholesome food that is delicious. It should also be that you are with family that you love, with laughter and arguing, but you still have them here, so kiss and make up. :)

Happy Turkey Day and Be Thankful! :}

Lean on Me

Glee was awesome last night. And it made me want to cry at the same time.

For those that aren't with it I'll just cap up today's episode: pregnant chik's dad found out that she was pregnant and kicked her out. And something inside me stirred...

What if I went through the same thing? Would my daddy hold me and tell me everything will be alright or will he abandon me like her dad did?

It just led me to think I am glad no cross roads have thrown me there, and hopefully it won't ever. Only time will tell...

They don't dance?!?

Just found out today that Seventh Day Adventists don't dance. I also learned that they don't wear jewelry, can't eat certain spices, must dress appropiately and certainly don't drink alcohol or do drugs.

I can understand the drinking and the drugs, but no dancing or wearing jewelry will be the end of me. Lol I am not trying to bash on anyone. Whatever religion that anyone is is fine with me. I just thought it was interesting to show that originality and difference in cultures can also be expressed in religions as well.

Pastor Sam explained it that the reason they don't dance or wear jewelry is to be different from others. Well since dancing comes from just about any culture, it's explainable. But to never be able to dance or to never be able to wear jewelry must certainly be a challenge for some. I feel naked everytime I forget to wear earrings. Guess to each their own.
