Thanksgiving

With the official day of Thanksgiving now in the past and my waistline is still expanded I thought I'd share a thought I recently heard. The thought is simply that Thanksgiving is not a day or a holiday or a week off from school, it is a life style.

I like that and have practiced that for the last several months. One of my co-workers gives thanks every day for what ever comes her way. Recently her husband and son were involved in an auto accident. Both are physically fine but the family vehicle is totaled and there are other extenuating circumstances. I know that through that families whole mess, my friend Kelly will find a way to give thanks.

Being thankful for family, friends, shelter and food are easy. Giving thanks for the curve balls we experience are often challenging. I have found my entire attitude toward each day is so much better when I start the day with thanks and give thanks for the curve balls as well.
