Today I am thankful for all the people that have filled my days. I am a people person...I love and believe in the beauty and promise in them, in their ability to do the right thing, in their potential to be...and do...the extraordinary. Yet that doesn't mean that I love all people every minute of the day. There are some people I get frustrated with, there are some that I get angry with, there are times that I just don't understand them and there are people I just don't really like. But that despite the fact that I am not able to live in perfect harmony with ALL people, I am deeply thankful for the people in my life. I am thankful for the people that have believed in me....but also for those who haven't, they have forced me to believe in myself. I am thankful for the people who have supported me, but also those that haven't...they have forced me to call upon an inner strength that I didn't know I possessed. I am thankful for the people that surround me with joy, and also those that haven't...they have shown me that the deepest joy comes from within. Everyone in my life has affected me in some way, I have learned and grown from each. Sometimes the lessons have been joyful...sometimes painful. That is life. There are some people that I have had to walk away from...because the relationship was unhealthy. There are some people that I will never let go of because of all the good they have brought. Whether you are a close friend from past or present, a coworker, neighbor, facebook friend..... acquaintance. I am thankful for you and all that you are and all that you strive to be and all that you do to make this world a better place....and my world a better place. Happy Thanksgiving!
