Happy Thanksgiving!

Be certain that while I feast on stuffing ( I. LOVE. IT.), gratitude will stand at my shoulder reminding me to remember

the love I've been given
the friends who hold onto me
the words to speak for justice
the laughs that lighten hearts
the connections made through a TV show, a bad TV show at that
the gift of a new day, a new perspective, a new way

I'll remember that hunger doesn't pull at my stomach
that a bed waits for my head
that education is the only thing that lets me read again of Bella and Edward's love
that belief made me strong enough to shatter gender stereotypes
that children need their parents. always.
that love is an action, not a word

Today may only familiar faces surround you reminding you of grace and gift and gratitude. Oh, and football :)

Thanks for being a part of my world,
Leen
