Spending Thanksgiving day at a homeless shelter is just another day at work for me, but the thing is, I get to clock out and drive in my new, fancy car to spend time with family in a nice, heated house and eat plate after plate of turkey and noodles while watching TV and then go home to burn calories on my bike and then take a relaxing shower and then type some nonsense into this blog with my shiny computer and then fall asleep in my big bed.
I ate lunch with a man today that lives in a cardboard box under an overpass.
I spent an afternoon with die-hard shoppers camping out at the entrance of a big-name electronics store ready to drop hundreds or thousands of dollars on the latest high-def-surround-sound-flat-panel-ultra-modern-must-have item for their kid’s Christmas present.
I hate to be the downer and not write something all cheery and bubbly on Thanksgiving like everyone else, but today was a humbling day for me… I wish I had better words to communicate what’s going through my head right now.
Be thankful for the things you have and the people you get to share them with.
i think i understand what you were trying to express.
was it something like, some people have so much and dont even recognize it, while some have so little and know it?
