I was doing great, really...until last night. So stupid, a kettle thing! No details needed, but I totally get it.
Basing happiness and fulfillment on one's reactions is no good. Oh gosh, in fact it's depressing.
It creates a hardship between the channel of communication, a breakdown in honesty.
Ugggh!
But at the same time I have to say this: for those specific situations where there is only one answer to the question we are in the right to expect.
Doesn't happen often but when it does, think it through, breathe and imagine yourself in the other person's happiness or sadness. Whatever the situation that presents itself is, do you need to support or agree. Is this a time for truth or a little white lie?
We can all be sensitive and swallow it for a minute or two, it won't kill us.
After all we've all been there and to have someone open up and speak and let you in is huge, scarry and a Big Deal!
So, sometimes to expect is expected. It's ok and it's human nature.
As Thanksgiving approaches let us all remember what this holiday is all about. Family, peace, love and appreciation. For each other, our health, homes, friends, careers, pets and everything good.
I am thankful for the following ( not in any order of importance)
Mom and Dad for their true love and their good health
Being married to a Great Man, who is always looking at ways to better himself. It's remarkable.
My sweet friends and extended family, you know who you are: Sweets, Shelly, Sis, Cousin,
C - Fam... D&D, D&B
Kitty
Our cute little shoe box apartment, so small but like a pair of shoes that's old and has shrunk after many walks in the rain...it's the best.
My health
My ability to think, breathe, talk, hear, see, taste, love,understand, learn and be taught.
Good taste ( thanks Mom)
Good manners ( most of the time)
Great toes...my best feature Ha!
Exquisite haute couture fashion flare ( I'm not wearing it, but aspire to one day be)
Being alive to be doing this, fully with all my heart and everything else!
Thanksgiving Advice:
- save your spot on the couch with a book or something that is personally yours, that way after the 3rd plate of turkey has settled your napping spot awaits you.

We have so much to be thankful for - really! Actually I am inspired to be thankful for EVERYTHING as it all has a purpose and a reason to teach me, touch me and heal me to make me a better person. You summed it up quite nicely:)
the best thing, as you said, is that we are here, by chance? by choice of the Big HE or (hopefully..........) Big SHE, :) , and that by being around eachother, and others, we can help, educate, support, cry, laugh or just be with us and them, and add a speck of sand to tha big beach facing the ocean full of so many people.
