Thanksgiving Day...a day when most of us will eat way too much, nap on the couch and spend the rest of our time watching football on TV (after the Macy's parade, of course...). This is the time of year when many will reflect on their lives and give thanks for all the blessings that they enjoy...their family, friends, homes, jobs, health, etc. This is truly a heartwarming time of year.
But...and there's always a but...
The question that I have is this...Why only this time of year? Why do we only focus on our blessings, on what we are thankful for, now? Imagine if we acknowledged our blessings and were truly thankful each and every day of the year...not just one month a year...instead of taking our blessings for granted, and dwelling on the negative aspects, conditions and situations we face every day.
Thanksgiving shouldn't just be a day, it should be a complete attitude and way of life. This is something that I definitely need to work on myself.
