Gratitude, appreciation, giving thanks. No matter what words you use it all means the same thing. Happy. We're supposed to be happy. Grateful for friends, family. Happy just to be alive. Whether we like it or not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith: Do you love her?
Derek: I don't know.
Meredith: It's good that you' re trying. You wouldn't be you if you weren't the kind of person that was trying to make it work.
Derek: You think so?
Meredith: Yeah. Means I wasn't wrong about you.
Derek: Thanks.
Meredith: Goodbye, Derek.
Derek: Goodbye, Meredith.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.
