Thanksgiving…
For so many of us this day marks the beginning of the holiday season. The excitement of turkey roasting, family hosting, and Christmas shopping can quickly obscure the opportunity for grateful reflection. For others the concept of being “thankful for all that we have” is a very difficult one. Maybe money is tight this year, or health and family concerns weigh on your mind. This is a painful reality for so many in our community, and all the tasty recipes and beautiful table settings cannot compensate for the hurt or lack that so many feel.
So in light of these realities, how can we truly celebrate Thanksgiving Day with an attitude of gratitude?
Make a conscious effort to be more aware of what you have than what you don’t!
Simple words – but they really are such a challenge for all of us. We can all quickly reel off a list of our wants, but when did you last consider what you might be taking for granted? There are so many things we each enjoy every day… a beautiful Fall day with magnificently colored trees, the companionship of a pet, a place to call home, a hug from a loved one. We are so truly blessed, but we lose the blessing when we focus on our lack rather than the abundance of even simple things.
Express your gratitude to just one person this week.
Receiving just a few words of gratitude can go a long way toward brightening someone’s day. We all love to be told how much we are appreciated… look for someone that you can recognize with just a few encouraging words, and likely you will benefit as well!
We are thankful for each of you, our clients and colleagues, and wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving!
