thanksgiving.

thanksgiving : the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, especially to God.

so many people call thanksgiving by its name, but don't truly give thanks. i'm afraid all too often, i allow myself to dwell on the negative rather than accept the positive. so here's {a glimpse of} what i'm thankful for. (:
