happy thanksgiving🤍 I’m about to get weird and thought daughter on yall:

Today is thanksgiving, and theme of today is gratitude. Gratitude changed my life. Thanksgiving used to not mean much to me when I was younger but these past few years it’s meant everything. With the environment I grew up in, I spent a lot of time focused on what wasn’t right, what I didn’t have, and what I lacked. It took going through some pretty painful years to realize; to wake up with a roof over your head and people who love you is already a full plate. My mom taught me, you could be dealing with a whole lot of pain and you could let that factor your life, or you could wake up and choose to love what’s around you. Happiness is a choice. Since then I started to notice that I can open my eyes and see beauty, I can breathe properly, I can hear the birds chirping every morning, I can afford food in my fridge, and I have a handful of people who I love deeply. The healthy body you criticize is the same body someone in a hospital bed is praying to have. Whatever small inconvenience you dealt with this week, someone out there is standing at a gravesite wishing that was their biggest problem. Life can change in a heartbeat, and if you spend too long waiting for the world to get better you’ll blink and miss all the gifts that are right in front of you. Learning to practice gratitude in some of my darkest times changed not only my quality of life but my entire perspective on the world we live. Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone is happy and healthy today.🤍
