Happy Thanksgiving!

I am always thankful for all the different blessings that I have in my life. This year though, it was a little bit of a complicated holiday. There was some family feuding going on so my mom and I ended up not spending time with some of our relatives this year. It's very sad to think that even during this time of year that sometimes we still find it difficult to compromise with our loved ones.

One movie that I used to love when I was young was Soul Food and this movie is completely about the same topic. This movie had almost every single conflict you could think of; family members cheating with other members, spouses going to prison, and the heart of the family, Mama, passing away.

Now, my family isn't going through anything that drastic but the situation defnitely makes me question the character of some of my family members. I hate to say that but this part of my family is very different from everyone else. The rest of my family is very giving and family oriented. This part of my family is very loving but in certain cases they can be very self-centered and it really seperates them from the family in great ways. I just hope that all of the issues can be resolved and not drag on for so long. I would've definitely enjoyed Thanksgiving much more if our family could have all been together instead of doing our own seperate things...
