Thankful

Every year at this time of year we all start talking about the things we are thankful for and how much we love our families etc. This year is no exception.

I was looking at my facebook page and reading many of the post talking about what they are thankful for. I even responded to a post about what was the most memorable Thanksgiving for you. After doing that I looked on my Twitter page to see if there was anything I should read about the there it was....South Carolina Unemployment rate now 12.1%. It hit me like a ton of bricks....12.1% of my fellow South Carolinians are experiencing a Thanksgiving that many of them did not experience last year.

It saddens me when I think what my fellow South Carolinians must be experiencing. It reminds me of what I really should be thankful...not just having a job but having all the things around me that would help through a time like that...my family. I am so grateful for my loving and caring wife who accepts me for me and still loves me regardless of my short comings, to still have my Dad, my Mom, all of my sisters and brother, my children, and my granddaughter. If I was experiencing any trauma in my life, these are the people who would be helping me standing beside me.

So this Thanksgiving I am truly thankful for the little things in my life that make my life so full, the love and support I receive from my family. My hope, simple...that the 12.1% of unemployed South Carolinians have the same love and support from their families. With that, they can overcome anything.

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

Kevin this is such a great post. We should all remember to be thankful for the blessings we have such as our family, friends and health. And maybe next Thanksgiving many of the problems of today that so many people are facing will be a memory.
