For me thanksgiving is about taking the time to realize how blessed I am in all areas of life. Often I get so focused on day to day living and the struggles of life that I forget to do and realize just how fortunate I am. One of the many things I am fortunate to have is a wonderful t had helped me through some extent difficult times. She has helped me find strength I never knew I had and to become the person I am. I am a different person today than I was before meeting her. Also thanksgiving is a very difficult holiday for me. My birthday is this week so it was always a huge holiday and all about family when I was growing up. Since my mom passed it has been a painful holiday. So t always ha to work a little harder this time of year..So yes I thank her at thanksgiving
