The Photographer's Personal Ponderings 8:Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about the food.

...You didn't really think I would leave it at that did you? No, most of us know that Thanksgiving is much more than just another food fest. There's a multitude of things I could talk about or discuss, but plenty of other bloggers will probably do a better job explaining things than I could. So I'm going to list three things I'm thankful for.

For one: my family. It seems like something that is or should be on everyone's list, but I really am thankful for the family I have. My dad is unceasing in providing more for my family than we could ask, and my mom equally so in using that provision in the wisest ways possible.

Secondly: my fiancée. She is all around kind and diligent, as well as my future. She is also a blogger, so hop on over here if you want to see what she is like for yourself.

Trés: my living conditions. I have seen so many things on the television this past year that I realize just how "rich" I live. I haven't a want or need beyond the frivolous.

I've been listening to the pastors on the radio quite a bit lately and I am noticing a certain theme keeps creeping up this year. That theme is how when one is truly thankful, they will do something to show appreciation rather than settling for a vocal "thank you."

I don't know how many readers I have, or where all of you are, but thanks for reading and have a blessed Thanksgiving!
