First of all, it’s Christmas, so I would like to say Merry Christmas. I hope you all had a good one. I hope everybody received cool gifts this season; I, myself, did. I am truly thankful that I am fortunate to be able to have the opportunities that I have. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on ranting through the next 100 words on how I am thankful for everything I am. I am thankful for what I have, and I do not see any sense in dragging that out. That is for other writers to write about, not me. However, I do plan to rant on the thing that I am the most thankful for. I am not the most thankful for family, food, or shelter. I am the most thankful for this gift called Free Will. I believe I am right when I assume that everyone reading this blog was born with Free Will. It’s Free Will, which allows me to write this blog. It’s Free Will, which allows me to speak my mind. It’s Free Will, which allows me to do what I love. It’s Free Will, which completes me as a human being. If I lacked what I am fortunate to have, I would still be thankful for having my Free Will. This Christmas I’m sure we all got pretty awesome gifts, but remember it’s what we take for granted that is usually the best gift. It’s things that we do not notice that make us whole. This Holiday Season I ask of you two things, I would like for you to do a random act of kindness. It can be smiling at somebody, or just holding the door. I’m not asking you to go join the Peace Corp. Also, take a moment, a quiet moment, to thank God for the things that you take for granted. Once again, have a wonderful Christmas, and you will hear from me again before the New Year.

It’s the things, which we don’t notice that are essential to our lives.
