Thanksgiving

It is another Thanksgiving again tomorrow. This is my 13th Thanksgiving in this country. I moved to US right after Thanksgiving in 1998. Time flies. I think moving to U.S. was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my life. At least I think it was a great decision at this moment. I am thankful for so many things in my life but most of all for my two beautiful children. The love I get from them is not comparable to anything in this world. Parenting is hard and challenging but it is worth it for sure.

We are invited to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at my husband's cousin's house. She always throws thanksgiving party and hopefully I can go to shopping on black Friday with my mom. I know this Thanksgiving is not easy for some families, the ones in need and out of work. I hope that next year to be a better year and economy gets better.

I am worried about Iran too. I think the time of this regime is up but I hope there won't be another war. If President Obama gets re-elected, he will do something about Iran but not by war, at least that's what I think but if Republicans get the White house, most probably there will be another war. They love war.

I truly hope that god helps Iranian people and people all around the world.
Happy Thanksgiving to whoever that celebrates it. Even if you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, think about things that you are thankful for and let go of the things that makes you upset or worried. Remember that God is greater than what we think and he is in charge

Life and death

I don't know why I am thinking about life and death a lot these days. May be I am dealing with mid life crisis. I am trying to understand the meaning of life, what is really life? why we are here? I feel like every day of life is like you are taken to a party that you did not want to go but your friends took you, now you can either sit in a corner and wait for time to pass by so you go home or you can mingle with people, drink, eat and have fun. How many of days of our lives we act like first scenario just are passive and wait for time to pass by and how many days we act like second scenario, we have fun and enjoy it. I think our daily life can be good, bad or just regular without any high lights. How many happy days of your life do you remember? Are there most of the days just OK without any highlight?
I read somewhere once that happiness is wanting what you have not what you do not have. May be that is true!
I become sad when I remember the dreams that I could not follow, things that I were capable of doing but did not try them. May be my life would be worse if I had followed some of those dreams may be not. You never know what is really best for you.
I at least know something, I have a good life with two beautiful kids that I adore and love to death!
I have to thank god for all he gave me and all he did not give me, because may they were not good for me any way!
