Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. -Melody Beattie This Thanksgiving, like every Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for. Although our family has suffered a major loss in the last few weeks, which can often make it hard to be thankful, I am still extremely grateful for all that I have been blessed with. Because I think it's important to reflect on these things, no matter what else is going on in life, I've listed some of the many things that I'm grateful for this year, below:
What are you most grateful for this year, this day, this minute? What amazing experiences or amazing people have you come in contact with lately? Take a moment to make a list, reflect, or share your gratitude with others today. I simply love it that we have a holiday that focuses on being thankful--what a great chance to refocus on what is important! Oh, and before I forget, here's another thing that I'm thankful for this year: the following fabulous picture of my Dad that I found while going through pictures this week. It's from Spring of 1974, when he was 22 years old. He had just returned from a road trip in Europe (in a VW van), and as you can see from his hat, France made quite the impression on him... Ob. Sessed with this pic.
Now I'll close with one last beautiful Thanksgiving Day quote, courtesy of Sarah Ban Breathnach: All we have is all we need. All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are. I hope you're able to focus your awareness on how blessed you truly are today. Happy Thanksgiving! Namaste, Mary Catherine Comments are closed.
