Thanksgiving

is my brother's favorite holiday. He says it's because at the end of the night, he's "thank-FULL". Insert rolling eyes here.

With Thanksgiving a couple of days away, it's been pretty busy at work, getting stuff ready for Black Friday and whatnot. From Black Friday on through Christmas Eve is the period where most retailers make the majority of their money for the year. Hopefully, the store I'm working in currently will do the same, because right now we are running in the red the last few months in a row...including this month. Time for the big turnaround!

It's somewhat unfortunate that most people tend to focus on the holiday of Thanksgiving to realize just how much they have to be thankful for. As much as we juggle priorities...work, family, etc...it's hard to take the moment here and there and be thankful for what you have. It's so easy to think of what you don't, that oftentimes you forget. I know I do. Like for instance, I'm almost always late. Not intentionally, I just misjudge the amount of time it will take me to get to places. I know for a fact that I've never, ever said to someone I have kept waiting, "thanks for sticking around". I've apologized, sure. But I have never said thank you for not ditching me. Sound dumb? Maybe. We'll see if it sounds dumb when I am saying it to you because I was late. Just something small to let whoever know I appreciate them. And I'll probably have to say it tomorrow. I'll let you know how that went.

I have so many things I should be thankful for it's ridiculous. And believe me, I am. For each and every one. I just hope that all of you friends and family out there know how thankful I am for each and every one of you. All of you have done something to make me better and I can't say thanks enough.

So thanks for reading. =) Have a great Thanksgiving.
