thanks for your giving.

so usually..thanksgiving is just a day where you get up,act like you're thankful for everything and eat until you burst.well that's how it is for me sad to say.that this year was alot different. back in about october,my dad said something to me about doing meals on wheels, a program that makes holiday meals to feed the poor and less fortunate,thinking that he wasn't serious about it,i sarcasticly said yeah i'd love to do.hoping he'd pick up on the slight undertone and change his mind..i hadn't heard much more about it after that conversation so i thought he'd forgotten or just simply changed his mind.so yesterday,thanksgiving eve at about 5p.m,he called me and said these exact words."Well You Know Tomorrow We're Doing Meals On Wheels,So Be Ready To Get Out The House At About 6a.m."as i'm listening i'm also thinking,"wdf is this neega talking about,I DIDN'T AGREE TO THIS!"then i thought about it...that sarcastic shit got me into this.so i dealt and prepared myself for a early morning ahead of me.as promised, i woke up at 5:30 and got out the house at about 5:56.early i know righh,lol.so we arrived at this soup kitchen at about 6:15,eyes still filled with sleep,cleared them before entering.you know i had to look presentable,lol. so we got there,washed our hands,put on aprons and headnets.reminded of me of the old ladies you see on tv portraying your school lunchladies.then we recieved our jobs.i was directed to put all hot lunches into the bags into the boxes of ten.thinking to myself,well that shouldn't be TOO hard.so we got started,everything's going smoothly,nothing getting spilled.then it started to get a little crowded,i saw a few people i've seen here and there on the net...didn't speak though.so about two hours in,this mid to old lady came in,introduced herself as the head of the soup kitchen.she stated the fact that we were gunna be apart of feeding 5500 people and that we had already made 3500 so far.which lead me to think...you have just helped 3500 people have a somewhat happy thanksgiving.you gave up time to help others,whom most likely you don't know,you made them happy. and then i realized,that's the real meaning of thanksgiving.not so much being thankful for what you have,but being willing to share you many talents,whatever they may be,with the world.

so i'll end this by saying,happy thankgiving to you and yours.

Bee Outtie.
