Today.

There is few things that are hard to be able to form an opinion about, usually they are things we dont know a lot about.
Today for me is one of those things, we all know the history behind the day, and maybe a story here or there. But I think because of the comfort we live in, and have for our whole lives, its hard to fully relate to the sacrifice made by those people to give us that quality in our lives. Its something that for me year after year has started to have a greater impact on me. Knowing that because of what these people did years ago has afforded me the opportunity to live the way weve all grown accustom to.
Slowly year after year taking more time to realize, and reflect on how comfortable a life we have. To stop and genuinely appreciate the friends and family we have surrounding us on a daily basis. Remembering how important these relationships are to my life. Some very simple but very important things that may at times escape our thoughts throughout the busy year. Having this day, this time of year, to slow us down and think about the people we have in our lives, here and gone, and be thankful for them. And to be thankful for the influence they have had on our lives, is growing more and more important to me as i "grow up." I stop and think about my grandpa and try to imagine where id be without people like him and his friends. The comforts that he and people like him have afforded me in my life. Im very thankful.
