Being thankful is a good thing. In the U.S. we take one day out of the year to give thanks. It's called Thanksgiving. We gather together to feast with family and/or friends to celebrate. While it has its roots in a Pilgrim and Native American tradition, the reality is we can be thankful on any given day.
When it comes to holidays, Thanksgiving happens to be my favorite.
But for me, none hold a candle to Thanksgiving. I think it's the gathering of loved ones around a feast where every single person spends a moment sharing what they are thankful for. This is a moment where we aren't looking at what we don't have or don't have yet. It isn't a moment for us to moan and groan about what could have been.
Nope.
On Thanksgiving when each person takes a moment to share what they are thankful for, it's a truly beautiful thing. It's also a lesson for to take with us beyond one day of the year. Any day can be a day of thanks no matter where you happen to live in the world.
