Being Thankful (Tuesday)

With this being my mother's birthday, needless to say that I am very thankful for my mother. Even now that she is gone I remain thankful.

There is the obious reason. If not for her I would not be here.

I am thankful for all of her intentions. Her intentions were good and she did her best. We struggled as a family but we learned to appreciate what we had. And we managed to enjoy life while finding a way out of a struggle.

When we could not afford to buy food, we had fun fishing trips. When our living conditions were less than desirable, we had picnics in the park.

Our mother showed us a positive out of any negative situation. And I will always be thankful for that.
