People you're THANKFUL for

[Gildarts]

It's a little early for thanksgiving, but I was motivated to create this topic for two reasons! 1: some of you guys really make me smile when we talk on skype and stuff 2: I was at work yesterday and there's a long story but I'll put it short (unless someone wants the juicy details) but I go in the back to help this one guy do dishes and he had a huge amount to do accumulated from the night shift, when I went over to help he immediately thanked me and reminded me of when I did the same on Memorial Day (when the dishes were even worse) and long story short he knew I was moving and I don't think he knew the reason was my dad was sick but he repeatedly assured me it was "fate" for me leaving and kept assuring me with reasons. I didn't ask to be assured, but his reasoning was sound and I appreciated it. It alleviated some of the worries I was having without him even knowing.

Well that came out longer than I expected, but no one likes to do the dishes alone, so, tell those people who you appreciate that you DO. Or show them.

I have a number of friends on Skype I talk to that really make a difference in just brightening my day and offering hope. You know who you are or maybe you don't.

There's a long list and I don't think naming everyone is super needed, but there's someone I don't talk to on Skype very much, but Victor every time I see you in one of the chats you always strive to say hey and welcome me, even this morning I don't have access to mini chat, but you still wrote the words.

Thank you Victor and everyone else I talk to and write with for filling life with care and joy.
