Thankfulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

After work today we’ll be off to celebrate the holiday with Angela’s parents, and spending the whole weekend visiting. I’m looking forward to the down time, it’s been a very hectic week! 🙂

I’m glad too, that I’ll have some time to savor the things that I am truly thankful for, the live that I have with my wife, and the mental health that has made it all possible after those many years of instability in my own life.

I hope you can find the time to be thankful for the good things in your life this weekend too, no matter how small they may seem in your everyday life.

  • History Survives When We Talk About It

    No matter what our leaders want to include or exclude from the official histories, we know these events happened. We may not be successful in getting large-scale claims of abuse into the history books of the future, though we should try, but we can all continue to talk about them. The mainstream may want us to be quiet about the abuse that happens within the family, the church, etc., but we can tell our stories. We have voices, our own online spaces, connections, and the freedom to speak.

    Most of all, we can support the people telling those stories. They are preserving our history and reminding all of us that the survivors are out here, we know what was done, and we will not accept the lies. We can ensure the truth is out there for those who want to learn and do everything we can to ensure that history is shared.
