Thanksgiving Everyday?!?

My thanksgiving was an eventful one as always, surrounded by the people that are most important to me.  I started the day off with some of my best friends at the Pennridge/Quakertown football game which is a traditional thanksgiving day football game between 2 rival high schools that has been played for the last 80 some years. Being a Pennridge alum of course I was sitting on the green and whites side cheering the team on with the marching band that I was a part of during high school. It was great to see some of my friends that are still in high school and part of the marching band as well as a Pennridge win! After the game I went to my families traditional thanksgiving dinner at my grandmothers. It was fantastic as always with food coming out of every corner of my grandmothers house. After we were finished eating and catching up with family it was time to attend the other side of the families thanksgiving where we also caught up with family and shared in some great family time. I find that every year thanksgiving goes by as quickly as it came, each year coming and going faster and faster and with the speed that thanksgiving comes and goes I often find myself forgetting what the holiday is truly about, and getting caught up in the holiday craziness. And once again every year I promise myself that I am not going to let that happen again, that I am going to sit back, relax and be thankful but somehow that never works. This year I found that perhaps it doesn't work for good reason, perhaps it is that just one day cannot fully take on everything that I am thankful for and the blessings I am surrounded with, I have I am going to be making it my goal to sit back, relax and be thankful every day. Perhaps I setting aside a moment in my day to reflect on everything I truly am blessed with would be a better alternative; after all I have  so much, so much to be thankful for. I have loving people that surround my every day, my every move, and my every action. People that take time out of their day to care and love for me. I have more then anyone could ask for, but yet in our materialistic society I find myself drawn into the need for more. So instead of making it my goal to not let thanksgiving pass to quickly next year I am going to be thankful every day and take the time to realize that each day is a gift that I have been given from God and the people surrounding me are the angels God has sent me to help me get through the roller coaster of life. This Thanksgiving I have found that perhaps Thanksgiving should be everyday!   I hope everyone had a fantastic thanksgiving and finds themselves incredibly blessed for all that they are surrounded with!
