User blog:BachLynn23/A time to Give Thanks

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

Although there are many members of our wiki, from places where Thanksgiving is not an observed holiday, I do not feel that it needs to change the meaning of what today is, or that they can't at least take part in what the true meaning of Thanksgiving represents. Thanksgiving is not about stuffing your face with turkey, it's about giving taking stock in what you have in your life, that you are thankful for. Though it is far easier to dwell on the things you don't have, particularly for those of you who have very little, but I encourage you all today no matter what country you are from, to think about what you do have. A roof over your head, a loving parent, good friends, etc etc etc, and to give thanks.

I would like to especially take this time, to express my gratitude and thanks to all my friends here on wiki, some of you know more about me in real life then others, some less, but this wiki has become a solid structure for me to thrive in. I don't come back here every day just because I enjoy editing on wiki, I come back here every day because I enjoy interacting with you guys, our user base. I enjoy leading you, helping you, guding you. You guys give me reason to get up every day, and to keep moving on with hope for tomorrow.

So to everyone here, I say thank you, and encourage you to look around, and spend today, not only giving thanks to the things you have, but giving thanks to the people who have inspired you, helped you, loved you and been in your life, through thick and thin.

"Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song."
