Appreciation

With the month of November finally upon us, that would have to mean that the Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner. Of course, Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks to your friends, family and everything and everyone you hold dearest. This directly relates to the topic of today's blog: appreciation. Some people lack appreciation for both things and people, and desperately crave things that they don't have and may never have. Instead of appreciating the things they do have such as friends and family that care about them, they complain about things they want rather than need. That being said, there's a blatant difference between wanting something and needing something. Some things that you'll almost always need include food, family, friends, water, and shelter.

Despite being surrounded by trees, nothing ever fell down around my house, which was extremely fortune. However, I did lose electricity for about a day, and I can easily tell you that it wasn't fun. I went without power through Monday night (meaning I was unable to watch Raw that night) into Tuesday evening. It could've been way worse, as many people went without power for an entire week. I wasn't able to do much besides read old documents I had saved around my room, and even that was difficult since I barely had any light to do so. Now that my power has been restored, I'm extremely appreciative of the things I usually take for granted, including my internet, cable and, most importantly, electricity.
