Gratitude in general silence.

I try very hard to express my gratitude as it comes upon me, for things, opportunities, and various kindnesses I have been given as well as for help which has been rendered on my behalf. I even recognize the myriad blessings I have in life which do not come through the purpose of others directly, things like my skills, my health, the place I live, my enjoyment of food, sports, music, art, games, and perspectives of the world and my place in it(even this being a list pale in its scope of my blessings, understood or not). In short, my position in life is something I should cherish and respect... the magnitude of my blessings far exceed my ability to properly acknowledge and appreciate them. Thanksgiving seems like an important holiday if for nothing else but that reminder. Its importance is increased, however, if the impetus to respect those gifts by responding in kind is acted upon and concurrent changes become the operational motion of life. I am sure I could have paraphrased all of this in a much simpler, clearer way. I needn't apologize for trying to improve myself, though, so I'll just be thankful that I can at least understand what I have said right now and hope that if/when I review this in the future it will imbue a similar effect and feeling upon me at those future times. Future win!
