Thankul for Dreamin'

Thanksgiving

On a most Holidays even though they are supposed to be happy times I unfortunately have never really looked at that them as those. Whether or not it was my childhood that helped me to look at it from my perspective or maybe it’s just that I see through the signs of Happy Holidays like I was in “They Live”. To me holidays should only be a time of rejoice and remembrance. That however seems to be slowly lost the older I get. Most of it just seems to me nowadays as an auction block. Thanksgiving should be a time of remembering what we should be truly thankful for not what “Black Friday” sale is the best. I guess that is why most Holidays seem funny to me. It always seems to be some agenda to get us to spend money rather than think of what the holiday truly is at the core of it. Although because I have an opinion like this and it goes against the majority I am the one who is negative. That unfortunately is a misconception. I celebrate everyday like a holiday. It’s the days that are designated as holidays I truly choose to have a day alone to think about what it is to truly be thankful.

 So as I sip this delicious cup of Black Coffee and stare out my large window typing. I notice a lovely lady crying and looking distraught in her newer black Mercedes SUV. It’s obvious this Thanksgiving is not starting off well for her. It usually seems like the stress and importance of tases so called days just helps make it even more of a disaster as human feelings and emotions do tend to take control. Needless to say she has looked over at me as the wiped her eyes. Embarrassed as she’s was in tears. I just looked at her with a boyish charm smiled and looked down towards this keyboard that I am now using to type this. I feel for those who are emotional as I am too. I unfortunately have never had the comfort others around me as cried and in all honesty all families can be dysfunctional as I know mine has been . Regardless Happy Thanksgiving to my crying neighbor.  As the time now is 7:30am and I wrap this little entry up. I just want to make it perfectly clear. I am Thankful to be alive. I’m thankful to have my art. I’m thankful to speak my mind. I’m thankful for finally being able to really enjoy overall my personal life and freedom. Overall I am Thankful… Just not for a forced day in which I am supposed to participate in something like a massive funeral. However, Let’s face it you can’t have a funeral without the fun. So cheers, Happy Thanksgiving and all that jazz… Sincerely Your Friend Me aka Jeffery Page
