Empty Thankfulness

We give thanks on the designated holiday but what about the rest of the year
Thankfulness is spread year round in my heart so it's okay to not be full of thankfulness on that designated day
Things are different this year and it's okay to mourn the loss of tradition
It's okay to not be okay on this thankful day
All we can do is try our best and be thankful for what we can be
Whether it be big ideas or small ideas there is always something to be thankful for
This year it's small things because my mental health can't handle big things and that's okay
No need to put on a fake smile, own your feelings, accept them and be more thankful on other days when you are ready
