When you think about it, every season is one to give thanks. No, I am not celebrating “Thanksgiving Day” and its place in history; however, there’s nothing wrong with recognizing and giving thanks for, if nothing else, life, endurance, family, love, and health.
For my native brothers and sisters, I can’t forget your story and I urge you not to forget the story of the Black man in America.
Thanks to those of you who supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, and I urge you to remain vigilant, join forces, and, like with the abuses our people suffered, say never again about future elections.
Just think, we could be saying thanks about so much more.
With all that is going on in the world today, I know for some it may appear to be challenging and overwhelming. However, if you were able to get up, inhale and exhale, eat and release (so important), breathe, enjoy the sun on your face and the sound of music; you have much to be thankful for.
Yes, I’m trying to lighten the mood right now because I know I have been coming hard and heavy. Many people I know have been hurting since Nov. 5, 2024. Sadly, I have a feeling that number is going to grow significantly after January 20, 2025, when the fan gets hit.
If you haven’t found a reason to be thankful, then let me give you one. Be thankful you have another day to do the right thing.
Let’s mark November 5, 2024, as the last day you do something that makes future generations question what they should have thanks for.
