It was a few years ago and I was really excited to wake up and attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. The previous night I got together my camera as well as some food and drink and went to sleep early so I would not miss any of the fun. I was anticipating taking the train to the city early in the morning and getting a great spot so I would enjoy the whole experience. I woke up around 2 am and it was raining. It was raining so hard, I did not think it would be a good idea to go. I got dressed anyway in hope that the rain would slow down and I would be able to attend . After I got dressed and bundled up, I went outside and waited hoping that the rain would slow down just enough that I could go. By now it was after 3 am and still raining hard, I realized that there was no hope and it was just going to be any other rainy day. I took all of my belongings and went back inside. I was really sad I missed the parade; I had planned for this and now there was nothing I could do. Since it was Thanksgiving, I decided to just go home and try not to be gloomy. I got inside to my nice cozy place, sat down and just fell asleep still bundled up. When I woke up the parade just started so I got to watch it from inside. It was still slightly raining so in a way it was good I did not go. Instead of ruining my Thanksgiving, I got to sit home with the people I love and we sat down and had family time. Had I have gone to the parade alone, we would not have been together to enjoy the peaceful day dry and indoors all together.
