It's a tough question to answer--what are you thankful for? Can we honestly reduce our thanks to a sentence or two? Give me a paragraph, a chapter maybe, or even just the opportunity to look into someone's eyes and know the answer without asking.
I'm thankful for my ability to communicate. I can read, write, advocate, speak, and write this blog. We have the ability to progress, and we are through communciation.
I am thanful to be living in a world where I do not always have to hide who I am, and to have a family who loves me without reserve. And I am thanful for the future, to know that it holds an even better world for us.
I know that we all have things that we are not thankful for. The elections, perhaps. The potential anti-progress we now face. Yes, it seems like a much easier question to answer: what aren't you thankful for? But really, these new challenges will keep us energized, courageous, and more eager to make the world a better place for young people, women, adults, l,g,b,t people, minorities--everyone and anyone who needs us. Perhaps we do not always know what we're doing, but I think we always know what we have to do.
