November 2.

Feel free to jump in here any and everyone to say anything you are thankful for.

I am thankful for the ability to forgive no matter how deeply I have been hurt. I am not saying it is not hard. I am just saying it is freeing. I used to be one angry person. I was full of rage all the time. It took years and years to learn I was just hurting myself more and others around me that didn't deserve it.

Here is a poem I wrote on caring/caretaking for people/family that have hurt you to the core, but you show up work threw it and become a stronger better person.

Who Else by Alana Gillis

They asked me why I cared for you, after you rejected me?

I replied, “who else.”

They asked me why I held you, after you crucified me with your words and deeds?

I replied, “who else.”

They asked me why I picked you up, after you kicked me when I was down?

I replied, “who else.”

They asked me why I bathed your tears, after you scoffed at mine?

I replied, “who else.”

They asked me why I gave you dignity, after you took away my self-worth?

I replied, “who else.”

They asked me why I forgave you, after you made me attempt to end it all?

I whispered, “who else.”
