Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for.

You find more chances to love, and you will be surprised to see how much more love is returned to you.

Charles Bukowski

One of my most memorable Thanksgiving memories was probably the first year that me and my two brothers decided to start our annual eating contest. We ate throughout the whole day.
