For all the dear and wonderful people who have come to call Bisexual. com home.
I know that many of you do not reside in the United States of America, so kindly indulge me in this tribute to Thanksgiving- a holiday celebrated here. It has long been thought that we need to set aside a day of the year to give thanks, or to be thankful for what we have in our lives. And here we do that, we celebrate Thanksgiving. A day typically spent with family and friends around a bountiful table in homage to our past. I think we should be thankful throughout the year.
I guess I have been spending much time lately thinking about the simple joys in life and how often we take those pleasures for granted. Also, how often they can be taken from you in a moment. We have so much to be grateful for that it is often overlooked and nearly forgotten in this hectic world we live in. Today I was given a gift, a gift of time. It was inspired by a man, a man who is serving in Iraq, away from his loved ones. One who cannot because of his sense of duty be with his family and friends. He made a gift to us by making Bill and I take time out of our day for each other. Who would have guessed that a simple gift of an hour of time could mean so much? It gave us pause. Gave us time to reflect upon the graces that have been bestowed upon us. Paramount among them are the many friends whom we have had the privilege to meet on this site. People who have indeed changed our lives. Enriched our lives and encouraged us to be better people. Shown us what it means to love and to be loved.
Time is such a precious commodity. For many, it is something that is limited. Having met so many wonderful people, both in person and on line, I consider myself a very lucky lady. From the first days we introduced ourselves on line to the people we have met in person, oh so many of you have made an impact. Friends, lovers you are all here and I for one am so grateful and feel blessed that you have come into my life. Life is, or can be a wonderful journey, a trip made better by the friends you meet along the way. I have taken the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference in the world. Our memories are the souveniers of lifes journey, let us fill our book of life with tomorrows memories today.
Enough of my rantings, I guess in my poor attempt to enlighten people, I just want you to go and be thankful for all the people who make a difference in your life. Time is but a scant treasure that is fleeting. Be thankful and be glad.
