re:Grateful

I wrote this on the date that is posted below the poem. However, I decided that I would post it today because of the mixed feelings I have with coming up to Christmas. Christmas is usually a time to be happy, merry, love, joy, hope and be with family. For some though it can be sad, a time to remember loved ones, stressful, a time where you might be away from home, etc. At the end of the day though I would have to say that even though I may have experienced pain, sorrow and a few other negative 'life' feelings throughout this year- I am grateful, I'm grateful for what I have, the opportunities I have been given and the people that I have met because I don't think that I would be who I was without them.
