Today is Thanksgiving here, in a few short hours we will gather family and friends together and sit down to enjoy a meal together.
I’ve many things to be thankful for, not just this year but every year. I have family and friends who love me, a wonderful blog family, a roof over my head, a decent home, a job, not to mention two wonderful dogs who I love dearly.
Throw in an (almost) five-year old grandson who still thinks going to Mimi’s house is the greatest gift in the world and an (almost) two-year old granddaughter who can now say, “I ol you Mimi” and it doesn’t get much better.
Yes, those are all wonderful things to be thankful for, and I am grateful for them every single day.
I thought today, it’d be nice to share something other than the traditional things that one normally is grateful for.
I wanted to write a beautiful piece about all the unsung heroes who get taken for granted every day, with little to no thanks.
- People like our soldiers who sacrifice personal lives to protect our freedoms and uphold the motto, “Land of the free and home of the brave.
- Firefighters and policemen and emergency personnel who work regardless of holidays to keep us safe.
- Doctors and nurses working tirelessly in the hospitals to save lives.
- Animal rescue workers who are out on the front line, experiencing the horrors that I myself can’t handle, helping those that can’t help themselves escape from the cruelty of man.
And all of those, I can’t think of.
Yes, I wanted to write a beautiful piece but somehow the words wouldn’t come, instead I offer this, a simple yet heartfelt thanks, and wish you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Are there any unsung heroes, that you can think of?
