Family (Part I)

So, what am I thankful for?

A better question for me would be, what am I not thankful for? There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for everything and everyone around me. In short, I'm thankful for my existence.

Some of you may be aware that I'm currently back home on vacation in Canada. Being home with my family, I have a renewed sense of what I'm thankful for. Although there are many things that I should be and am always thankful for, I am most thankful for my loving and supportive family. I'm thankful for my mom who has always been understanding and supportive. I'm thankful for my dad who has always provided me with valuable advice and insights into all of life's little twists and turns,. And I'm thankful for my brother who despite tickling me to near death when I was younger to do his bidding, has always been there to get my back whenever I was faced with a challenge.

Although I may appear to have a glow that never seems to fade and a smile that's worth a million bucks, I have had my share of worries, despair, and inner turmoil, enough to fill a book (which I hope to publish someday in the future. Amazon's suggested retail is $19.95 -pre order through me and I'll get you a signed copy, hopefully before 2012). But every time I was down, I was able to get back up because I always knew that despite my flaws and the ill-doings that usually caused my downfalls, I knew that my family would be there for me.
