***Before you read this post (in case you didn’t read the last one), Chester is my cartoon self and a creative outlet for my daily feelings, my celebrations, and my life struggles. Sometimes it helps me solve problems as I take a step back and project them onto Chester. He is my cartoon journal, my self animation, and my comic relief.
I know that yesterday was Thanksgiving, but should not every day be filled with thanks? I am thankful for my life; especially the people in my life, who bring me so much joy. What is more important than taking a step back to appreciate what we are most thankful for? Perhaps realizing how much we are taking for granted.
I am especially grateful that Chester met Lucy***
Chester and Lucy are beginning another boring day. Lucy is at work in front of a computer screen, as usual. Chester is at home in front of the television, as he has not been employed in several months.
Little did they know, something special would happen today.
Chester rose from his couch and headed into town. He entered an art gallery, where he laid eyes on a beautiful woman behind the counter.
That was the day when Chester met Lucy.
