Music:  Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I am watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is something I have been doing since I was a child.  I began to reflect on all the bad things that happened to me this year.  I decided to write this Blog because even with all the bad, I am still so very thankful for the good things that managed to slip in this year.  If you are reading this, I hope you will take a moment to be thankful for your blessings this year even if they were surrounded by moments that you wish you could forget.  I am thankful for good health, family, friends, laughter, and big hugs.  I am grateful for today, and I remain hopeful that next year will bring me more joy and big hugs in abundance.  Listed below is a compilation of my favorite gratitude quotes:
