When it comes to celebrating Thanksgiving and this Holyday of Gratitude, I think the Dali Lama said it best:
Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

That quotation is so powerful for me! I read that and felt, "wow", with all the stupid things that have gone wrong with this semester at college it really provided some light and hope. I know it was only a blog post but it made me feel that I can finish these last 3 weeks and actually survive.
