Give Thanks for the Quiet

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and may you not forget to actually give thanks for anything that makes you happy. For some Thanksgiving is a day were we are all licensed to over eat (I tend to eat a bit more myself). For others its a time to get together with relatives and bicker while they hack into a turkey wishing it was their cousin. And for others its just a polite thing to say to the stranger at the grocery store as to appear like we actually care. I am only human, and I will admit I have leaned toward these three ways of thinking a time or two myself. And the only thing that I'm "thankful" for is the peace and quite of my own room at the end of a day off from school...and maybe the trash load of stuff that I got for wicked awesome prices while shopping on Black Friday. But today I'm going to pretend do my best to be the happy-go-lucky character that people often see me as. Maybe for once we could all try to be genuinely appreciative of life and each others company. Key word: try. After all, its a national holiday.
