One of the fundamental components of American culture is the Thanksgiving holiday.
More than the feast or the Macy’s parade, or watching football or a turkey trot, expressions of gratitude for what you have is woven into our national fabric. It’s there, and there ought to be a renewed focus on that core value.
Let’s sound off. Here, I’ll go first. Here’s what I’m thankful for…
My wife,
My three kids,
Food to eat,
Clothes to wear,
A roof over our head,
My job,
The friends I have,
Hot coffee,
Our two dogs,
Loose leaf tea,
Old favorite tunes,
Newly discovered music,
A good read,
A fresh battery charge,
Some chocolate found in the pantry,
My in-laws,
Just enough rain,
A billing issue resolved,
A little break in the routine,
An unexpected smile from a stranger…
…and on and on and on.
Let today be a fresh start at an attitude we should strive for everyday.
Let’s fill each day this way.
Let’s fill it with THANKSGIVING.
