It’s Christmas Eve! – 2014

Wikipedia

Christmas is a special time of year for so many people. Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Others, who observe this occasion, spend time with loved ones and spread cheer. I think, also, that many people try extra hard to be a better versions of themselves than they usually are, during this time.

Christmas isn’t just for Christians and I think it’s great. Why wouldn’t I be grateful for any occasion that brings out the best in people? So, to anyone reading this today or some time down the road, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.

Happy Thanksgiving U.S.A! – 2014

Wikipedia

I sincerely hope all nations have a celebration that’s comparable to our Thanksgiving Day celebration. If we get too caught up in the day-to-day struggle to keep moving forward, it’s nice to know that we can at least set aside one day to just be thankful for whatever little bit it is what we have. Sure there’s historical, political, and for those who choose, even religious ties to this holiday, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Today I’m thankful for:

There is so much to be thankful for in life. Even the things that bother us can most times be turned around and become matters of gratitude. It bothers me that I don’t have a computer that works consistently, but at least I have one. I thank God for every blessing in my life and for the love and patience of those around me who put up with my complaining.

Thank you to everyone who have read, followed, and or supported the ToiBox of Words. Whoever and wherever you are, whether celebrating or not, just know that someone somewhere is likely grateful for you.

Happy Veteran’s Day U.S.A. – 2014

Wikipedia

Today is the day we remember and honor the end of wars and the signing of peace treaties. This is the day we thank and honor our veterans for serving in wars (appreciated and unappreciated) to protect the ideals of this country…We also get a day off work (some of us).

To everyone else around the world, I wish you a good day and hope that your country also recognizes a day such as this.
