Thanksgiving

Today was Christmas , it was the a Christmas away from home. No mass at my regular Church, no appam and stew for breakfast, no mumma cake for Christmas. This is not my first Christmas away from home I guess, but this is Christmas is different from the rest because, today I never missed any of these today. Todays Christmas was at Vasu's with LSD and Aravind. A good memory, a Christmas with family away from home. More details on this family of mine sometime later. I owe God an apology I guess, I've been not thankful for my life for a long period of time. It's partly to do with not taking some chances that I should have taken (there will never be a post about this). Today I, Bijou Mani Thomas, wants to set the record straight with God.

  • I'm not being punished for making the wrong choices in this life.
  • I'm lucky. I have the best set of friends that, only I can have. The only set of friends that I can call my own family away from home.
  • I have homes that I can call myself, and walk in at any hour, and not be considered a pain in the @$$.
  • Today I realized, that losses I have had many, many that I know I'll never get back. But what I've been gifted weighs more than what I have lost. Today I realized, I'm blessed.
Today I'm thankful for this life.
