Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  Another year, another Thanksgiving.  What are you thankful for?  What are you most grateful for?

Grateful

So, what are you grateful for?  If you’ve had a great year, this question might be easy for you.  Maybe you’ve:

• Started a relationship – maybe you’ve met someone who really makes you happy.  There’s joy in the company / companionship.  How wonderful.
• Gotten married – you found the love of your life and decided to make a commitment.  Good for you!
• Had a baby – building on your family, adding more love into the world.
• Gotten your dream job – we all want to be productive members of society and doing something you truly love and enjoy is amazing.

Or, maybe you’ve had a rough year.  We all have them here and there.  Life isn’t perfect by any means.  If that is the case, it may be hard to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Here are some things I look to when I am feeling down:

• Family – good or bad, hopefully you have some.  If you don’t, do you consider other people as part of your family because they are so close to you?
• Friends – same…
• A roof over your head – do you have some sort of shelter?
• Food on the table
• You’ve lived another day

When we are having hard times, some of these ‘gifts’ may be scarce or sometimes we fail to see the abundance when we do actually have it.  It’s easy to forget and take these things for granted.  Find something to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving

So, happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Find something to be thankful for – no matter how small.
