Thankful
There are many things to be thankful for. Some days it may be easier to see what those things are than others, but hopefully we all have the chance each day to just try to find one small thing that can either inspire us or remind us of something in our lives that is amazing.
There are so many things to be thankful for – the people who provide us our food. Do we really know who they are? Likely not, and yet there are millions of people who work to bring us our food everyday, as I was reminded recently by Bob at work who reminded us at a meeting that there people less fortunate than us who do not expect food daily like I do, so we should be thankful for what we have and for the people who provide us what we have as well.
Keep a few of your reminders of thankfulness with you. No matter how big or small they are – from cufflinks to photos, from signs to toys, and from blankets to cards, there are reminders of all sorts of things to be thankful for – be they memories, people, places, or things. Also, be willing to let your reminders go as well – share them with others and hold your memories with you while others might make new memories with your things.
I have enjoyed so many different things in my life, and I have also enjoyed donating them as well, hoping that others would also create great memories with them as well.
Further, be thankful for the people who have been or who are in your life. While we may miss some, we can take solace in the fact that they are always with us in our minds. And, we can celebrate with those who are with us and enjoy our time together.
I am thankful for all of my readers – I hope that my words will continue to help and inspire you, and I hope that they will always be a way for us to keep connected to each other. I am thankful for my friends and family who have supported me on my journey to be where I am at today, and I look forward to those that I will be thankful to know, and get to know, in the future.
Be well this Holiday Season.
