Entry #10. Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day is a day when relatives and close friends get together to celebrate what they are thankful for. It once was a day of celebration to the pilgrims sharing a feast with the Native Americans in what could also be seen as a sign of peace and tranquillity. However, in this day and age we have pushed that facade aside because of what really happened occurred in that time. Teachers still try to teach children the meaning that Thanksgiving brings, but no longer try to teach them to celebrate the murderers and thieves. All that ugliness aside it is important that we continue to pursue that new message of celebrating what we are thankful for. Almost everyone has something to be thankful for. I am personally thankful for my family and all the time I get to spend with them. It was even better that I got to sit in a room and eat with people that I don't see that often.
