Happy thanksgiving!
It has been awhile since I posted last and although life has gone on since I last cut my hair, I'm not doing any catchup posts. But I do have a lot of things to be thankful for.
I always seem to get sick on or around Thanksgiving time. Growing up I always came down with a horrible sore throat. I remember my glands getting so swollen that my family used to tell me there was an elephant in my throat. In high school the one year I didn't get a sore throat I got some virus that caused a full body rash for a month. Two years ago my UC flared up worse than it had ever been. I think I was actually relatively healthy last year, but I have continued the tradition this year by getting shingles- yes, the old person disease. I have decided just to accept the fact that I just must be allergic to being thankful.
I have so much to be thankful for. I have a wonderful family who I love and who loves and supports me in everything I do. I have wonderful friends who make me laugh. I have an unshaken testimony in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that he lives and because he lives I can return to live with him someday with my family for eternity. I am so thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ- which I know we seem to remember more at Easter time, but I am grateful everyday for that gift and for the gift of the Holy Ghost in my life. I am thankful for being back home in beautiful CA where today it is a sunny and warm Thanksgiving Day. I am thankful for a country where I have the freedom to choose. I could go on and on about the things I am thankful for, but it is almost time for me to go enjoy some turkey and family time.
So although I seem to have some type of allergy to being thankful, I would rather be sick and thankful than healthy and dissatisfied with life.
Happy Day of Thanks!!!
