Thanksgiving is my favorite of all holidays, because it is, in my home, a celebration of love.
This time of year more than any other we turn our thoughts to the things we are grateful for.
Good lives, our homes, our loved ones, Peace when we have it, health, the absence of hunger, and our friends.
I would like to thank all of you here who have made my life a little richer just by being in it. Thank you for your kindnesses, your notes, the thoughtful, funny and insightful posts you have written, and the fun we have had.
I hope each of you is blessed with such a richness.
It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,
Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;
After all, each day is a unique gift.
So, give a hug for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
Share a smile with a stranger;
Take the time to count your blessings;
Don't take anything or anyone for granted;
And end each day with no regrets.
BE THANKFUL.
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
May you have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving!!
When I am counting my blessings, you will be among them.
