Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on all the things in our lives that we are thankful for. I am thankful for being a mom to my kids. With so many people out there that have lost children to illness, divorce, or other extenuating circumstances, I am grateful that our home is healthy, and that I get to wake up to them every day. I am thankful for having a roof over my head and heat to keep it warm. I am thankful for having running water that is safe to drink. I am thankful that I am surrounded by good friends and a supportive family that are always there when I am in need. I am thankful for love. I am thankful for living in a country where I am free to wear what I want, speak freely, and where I have rights to be treated as an equal. I am thankful that I live in peace.
Today, take some time to think of all the things you have been blessed with. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to make this a daily occurence? Imagine how your life could change with some everyday thoughts of the positive things that fill our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving to every one of you. I hope your day is filled with love and family, and reflections of all that is good.
