This article is going to be a cliché and I have no intentions of doing this. However, since I have a six day work period this week, I'm gonna write what I'm thankful for so get over it. As the saying goes, "There are so many things to be thankful for" and I 100% agree with that statement. We should all be grateful for the tiny and large things we'd dealt with on a regular basis. As a person that doesn't see the idea of only saying thanks on one specific day, I rather tell people to be grateful and shut their mouths when they whine and don't get the idea of others suffering worse than they are.

We can all be thankful for something like family, life, money, (etc). But, lately, I noticed that a lot of people rather thank themselves for only the stupid things and not the greater things such as the things I mentioned just now. Sometimes, I do wonder if we are selfish because of us rushing around and wanting things on the spot without the time of day to interact with another person. We don't thank people enough for the simple things they do for us and I hate seeing that. I'm guilty as well for it, but I want to change that. I am thankful for the life I was given. I'm thankful for the opportunity to make it expand and to change it for myself and others I truly care about. I just always have a difficult time expressing it considering I'm a quiet person outside of this place. Here, I can expand my voice. Yet in person, I'm a mute who swears so much just to get her point across to someone. But, I want to express my thanks by writing anything I can muster like articles for Odyssey and novels like my Roaming Wolves series. So perhaps I'm just saying try to thank a person, use a talent you trained yourself to do and express it. It helps and somewhere, a person is silently thanking you for everything you do, even if it's saying hello or a simple gesture to the door.

Kindness is a dying virtue, but we can still save it by giving thanks every day, instead of Thanksgiving.
