Oculus Habent's Journal: Thanksgiving

I am thankful for the time we have with those we love.
For friends and family, close and distant.
For memories and stories and pictures of those we have lost.

I am thankful for child-like awe and wonder.
For warm sunshine on my face and cold air in my nose.
For golden sunsets and pouring rains.

I am thankful for the work of those who have sworn to help and protect us.
For those we would die for, and those who would die for us.
For doctors and soldiers and parents.

I am thankful for the tools to learn and teach.
For patience and perserverance.
For contemplation and understanding.

I am thankful for this day and for each that follows.
