...and "Thankful" wins by a nose!...
Is it possible to be thankful and yet not satisfied? Or does that defeat the whole point of being thankful? Perhaps Thanksgiving is supposed to be one day when we forget about our grievances, concerns, and unfulfilled desires and just focus on what we are grateful for. I think I learned something about that in kindergarten.
If I was to make a list of all the things I'm thankful for, and a list of all the things I'm not satisfied with, there would be many items that appear on both lists. Some of the people, places, and events that brought me the most toe-curling joy, also brought me some of the deepest heartache. I think that is how life is.
I also think that if I were to look at the length of my "thankful" list as compared to my "unfulfilled desires" list, my thankful list would win by a mile.
And I'm grateful for that.

I am relentlessly thankful and almost never satisfied, but that condition seems normal to me, for whatever that's worth! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for your blog.
Right on, Reya. I'm thankful for this blog too. And I think it is perhaps part of the human condition to not be "satisfied". On the other hand how much do we want to work, work, work on one thing. I think we get bored and want to move on. So even though we may not be "in love" with the "final" result, we are willing to let it go and let be so that we can move on to the next thing (or things).
