We are grateful for ...

I am thankful for whatever environmental influences in my upbringing allow me to feel true gratitude and empathy. I meet so many people and we are exposed to so many through the media who seem completely void of the ability to feel either of those in an honest way. Is it Catholic guilt? Growing up with my grandmother living with us? Having four siblings? Chores? Having pop or a trip to McDonalds be an extravagance?
Being allowed to make mistakes? Being exposed to real and raw emotions? Raised knowing that others had far more - yes, but many had so much less. Yes to all of those influences and more. I'm thankful for being able to think and feel and choose. (I am also thankful for fruity pebbles.) - Christine
