I am so thankful... [View all]

It has been a hard year, I came so close to losing someone in my family that I adore. Yet they pulled through. It took months, yet they are with us. For that I am blessed.

We have all had a whirlwind year, with the government shutdown and threat of lost benefits. So many left adrift not knowing what their future would hold. The fear the panic and sense of hopelessness clutched our very souls.

Games. The GOP loves to play games at the peoples expense. They strut and snicker and wreck havoc on our lives.

Yet through it all we are still winning. They thwart us at every corner yet we move forward, not as fast as we wished, yet we continue in a straight line. We have our eyes focused on our future. We see it, we can feel it and yes we can taste it.

Our President has given us so much to be thankful for, a healthcare system that is working. One that will benefit millions. Is it perfect? No. Yet it will get better and stronger everyday. Peace, or a great chance for it, he has given us that too. He leads us toward a kinder and gentler world. It is a start. A start, a fresh start after so many black years.

Bottom line, it is about Trust.

For that I am Thankful.

“And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make.”

In the end, I am thankful. To my family and my friends for all the love and support that they have given me. I hope that I have returned it in kind.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, the BOG and all of DU~
