Harvesting Gratitude: A Tapestry of Reflections on Chairs, and Choices in the Gobble Gobble

Ah, as the gobble gobble season approaches in the good ol' U.S. of A, let's take a moment to sprinkle some gratitude confetti, shall we? Beyond the usual suspects of good health and a table groaning with deliciousness, I'm thankful for the unsung hero of life – Wi-Fi. Without it, I'd be as useful as a screen door on a submarine. What are you thankful for except the usual norm of good health and food on the table fill with friends and family?

Because gratitude, my friend, is like that stubborn piece of fat. Soft enough to be meliable, but strong enough to uphold our body and resilent in time. When weaken, it can be broken into liquid and drain out. It's also softer than a marshmallow pillow but tougher than a hangry toddler. It holds us together when life tries to play Jenga with our mind. But watch out, when it weakens, it can turn into a liquid mess faster than ice cream on a scorching summer day.

Hopefully as you are sitting at that table and sitting and enjoying the present with laughters and jokes, the people who were your favorite and most valuable in once life, are not stranger to you in the street later on. Or have left you unexpectably. Treasure what you have because the table may stay the same except the decoration making it pretty but the seat may change its owner as we passes through time. So again, what are you thankful for so far this year?

As we are criticizing and thinking in our head through our times and memories this year through some tears, happiness, laughters, doubts, we have been to another level of learning about ourselves, the people around us including our pets as well.

With a mere month remaining in the chapter of the Rabbit/Cat year, let bravery be our guide. May our joy not in words but in action and may those seats as it is being filled up with newcomers was the choices that we have make.

May our expressions of joy transcend mere words, finding resonance in the melody of our actions. The newcomers gracing the seats at the table symbolize the choices we've made—may we embrace each step forward with the courage to comprehend, accept, and learn from the evolving reality.

Every steps forward, shall we have the courage to understand, accept reality, learn from our choices, and to never regret the seats that we have chosen, and the seats that we have left.

In this unfolding narrative, let regret find no dwelling, and may the seats we choose be a testament to the audacity of our choices. As we navigate the closing pages of the year, may every stride forward be adorned with the wisdom to understand, the strength to accept, and the resilience to cherish the seats we've chosen.

In the tapestry of autumn, where the air echoes with the spirit of gobble gobble, I find myself immersed in gratitude beyond the usual blessings of health and hearty meals. Gratitude, akin to a pliable of lipid, possesses a softness that molds to our essence yet harbors the strength to uphold our being throughout the tests of time.

As you gather 'round the table, dodging overenthusiastic relatives armed with ladles, you realize the folks making your favorite moments haven't morphed into strangers on the street. It's like keeping your favorite show's characters intact after a season finale – rare but magical.

So here we are, surrounded by the familiar faces of friends and family, sharing laughs and inside jokes that have more layers than an onion. Yet, let's not forget that the people we cherish today might be the mysterious strangers we dodge on the street tomorrow. Life's like a game of musical chairs, and those seats can change faster than a chameleon at a disco.

So as I sit at the table of the present, adorned not only with laughter and jest but also with the cherished souls who have graced my life, I ponder the transient nature of connections. May those once held dear not morph into strangers along the avenues of tomorrow, nor vanish unexpectedly. For in the mosaic of memories, the table may retain its familiar setting, yet the ownership of seats can shift, a reminder of the fluidity as we traverse the corridors of time.

Reflecting upon this year's journey, amidst tears, happiness, laughter, and doubt, we uncovered gratitude for the profound lessons etched into the tapestry of self-discovery. Our pets, silent companions on this odyssey, contribute their own wisdom to the narrative of our lives.

In a world where chairs change owners faster than a hot potato, I'm grateful for the stability of my metaphorical seat. Sure, the table might get a seasonal makeover, but at least my spot remains unclaimed.

So, here's to the laughter, the tears (mostly from cutting onions), and the occasional doubt that creeps in when you can't find your socks. Cheers to a year where the only unexpected exits are from side dishes, not cherished companions. May your gratitude be as bountiful as seconds on Thanksgiving – and may your seat at the table stay as comfy as a well-worn joke before farewell is whispered at night.

As we gather around the table, let's not only admire the new centerpiece that Aunt Mildred insisted would bring good vibes but also appreciate the fact that we're not playing a solo game of musical chairs. Because, let's be real, trying to catch an imaginary chair is a workout no one signed up for.

In the grand theater of life, this year has had its share of drama – tears, laughter, questionable dance moves, and moments that made us wonder if we accidentally stumbled into a reality TV show. But through it all, I'm thankful for the resilience that's kept us going, like a cat meme popping up when I need it the most.

So, as we navigate the sea of memories, riding the waves of happiness, doubts, and maybe a few questionable fashion choices, let's raise a metaphorical toast to the people, moments, and Wi-Fi signals that have made this year one heck of a rollercoaster ride.

Here's to the last of you, 2023 – you quirky, unpredictable thing. Cheers and goodbye forever!
