Since it is Thanksgiving I thought a blog on being thankful for family was appropriate. Are we really thankful for what we have or are we faking it? I think, sometimes, it is a little of both.
This is the season of getting together with family and friends. There is an old saying that you can choose your friends, but not your family. I think this is very important to remember. You choose the people in your life that you want around you. These people lift you up and bring you joy and sometimes, actually often, they are not your family.
Do what you want to do this holiday season. Be with your family if it brings you joy. Sometimes family only brings heartache and misery, so don't be pressured into doing things you don't want to do because it is "family." Family is not the most important thing in the world, contrary to popular belief. Be thankful for who you are and what you have and enjoy your Thanksgiving.
