Thanksgiving Makes Our Soul Beautiful
Fang Wenjuan
Thanksgiving just around the corner, the bustle of the holiday season is looming. In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day. People always celebrate with big dinners and happy reunions. Pumpkin pie and Indian pudding are traditional Thanksgiving desserts. Relatives from other cities, students who have been away at school and many other Americans travel a long distance to spend the holiday.
Thanksgiving is great time to toss away the things that bother us and stop focusing on the negative. It seems that we are all so busy trying to obtain new things and achieve new goals that we never really take the time to be grateful for the things we've accomplished and for the things that God has graced us with. In the United States we are so tremendously bless with the best of everything. This Thanksgiving take a look at what you have and thank God for it. We are truly blessed.
It is not an easy task trying to tell the world everything in this lifetime so far that has made me not only very thankful, but happy, loved and emotionally complete all in one. I have to say first and foremost will be my wonderful family .Another thing I have to cherish is my friends. They are the best, some of them quiet and reserved and others are loose cannons but each and every one of them is special and has some impact on my life. I am grateful that I have learned not to have regret for my past mistakes only to take them as a lesson in life. I have learned to enjoy my life and take the bad with the good and just be thankful for everyday that you wake up alive, is still breathing and healthy. It's always necessary for everybody to be aware of the truth that we should be sincerely thankful to whatever others do on our behalves and express our appreciation with all the heart and soul.
Actually, we take so many moving things for granted in our lives: our parents' care in phone calls, our friends' congratulations in short massages, our teachers' deliver of precious knowledge. So many things deserve our praises and thanks. We are just too careless to realize them. The world is perfect if all of us devote some of our love to those who need it. All of us need love; the entire world needs love.
I want to thank my parents for giving my life; thank my teachers for educating me to be a useful man to this society; thank my friends for giving me the help when I was down; thank my adversaries for letting me to be a grown-up; thank everyone here whoever has a thanksgiving heart. It is good for the soul to give thanks! What we lack is not love and thanks, what we lack is a heart of thanks-giving. Be thankful for whatever you have, give and receive. Happy Thanksgiving today and every day!
