"I'm grateful for the sun. I'm grateful for the moon. ...." -John Cusack's character in America's Sweethearts
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
John Cusack's character was given the above "grateful" treatment to combat his depression after his sweetheart broke off with him after years of successful movie making together. He would always start with the same two lines which I liked because I am genuinely appreciative of the sun and the moon as well.
I'm a natural grouser. It definitely takes conscious effort and work on my naturally bad attitude self to help me become aware of all the things that I am thankful for. I guess it's a matter of focus. If I focus on all my have nots and am nots, I become unsatisfied, depressed, and self-pitying. But if I focus on my haves and ams, I am amazed at how much I have and am that are good and undeserved. So I'm still trying to be more focused on the good and be grateful.
This year I'll be spending Thanksgiving at my Auntie Sinduk's house in Anaheim with my brother Scott. My aunt is an amazing cook (I guess that gene doesn't run in the family. Maybe it's more of a learned thing.) so I'm sure my stomach will be enlarged and deeply satisfied. They also have a pool and jacuzzi in their backyard to help us relax after the feast. Nice...
Oh and HAPPY BIRHTHDAY PATTY on this Thanksgiving Day!!!
