Thankful I know enough to be thankful

Here in Canada we have Thanksgiving in October, weeks before Halloween…go figure.

A few things I know and things I’m thankful for, including but not limited to:

1. Happiness can be…a smile, a furry friend, snowflakes dancing against the darkness, absorbing books, family, friends, a movie that makes you laugh and cry, a TV show where you can’t wait for the next episode, a cozy bed, chocolate melting on your tongue, a slow dance, walking in the Fall and more.

2. Those who believe in fate or faith should never look both ways or check an expiry date.

3. Fear is more contagious than any disease and stronger than an army.

4. People make choices. How you feel about those choices or the consequences has little or no bearing. Really.

5. The Earth will still be here in one form or another after we’re gone.1thanks106. Everyone has their own window on the world, with it’s own screen. You can’t make someone see through your screen and it’s impossible to see through theirs.

7. You can’t walk away from yourself the way you walk away from other people. If you’re going to stay, play nice.

8. Truth can be painful and can take you places you may not wish to go. Go anyway.

9. Even the most basic beliefs about reality aren’t true alone, our thinking makes them true in our experience. Hopefully this isn’t true about zombies.

10. We forget. Our mind is designed to remember and to forget, but too often we forget when someone has been there for us or not. Don’t forget.

I’m thankful my son makes me laugh and vice versa.
Thankful for family, friends, and virtual friends.
Thankful for things that keep my weary mind amused.
Thankful for what I’ve had, what I’ve lost, what I might have.
Thankful I know enough to be thankful.

    1. It’s an oldie but hopefully a goodie. I’m thankful WordPress stopped (for now) playing games and finally let me do a post properly (third time is the charm, er, not lol). Mostly I’m very thankful to know you and other bloggers, dear Teagan, you make me smile which is the greatest gift I could ever ask for or receive.
      Mega thankful I know enough to be thankful even when Chicken Little and me have too much in common these days hugs xoxo

    1. I agree, gratitude should be with us all the time, one day out of 365 isn’t nearly enough! 🙂
      I’m grateful you reblogged this post but most of all, thankful that we found each other in this tangled web. 🙂
      Hope the week ahead is filled with things to be thankful for… 🙂
