Here is my gratuitous post on gratitude on this holiday founded on family, food and tradition. We so often become consumed with the responsibilities of the day that it is easy to lose sight of what matters. Which is basically a metaphor for the rest of the year isn't it? Maybe the sentiment of gratitude is in the hustle and bustle, the food that doesn't cook as quickly as you planned, the family member that ALWAYS gets on your nerves. I have a way of setting up expectations for holidays and special events that never fail to let me down. Nothing ever goes as planned, but that is the beauty of the journey of life. There is a lesson to be learned around the corner with each step along the path. Appreciating the moments in life for what they are is the essence of gratitude, not extraordinary gestures of sentiment. This Thanksgiving, join me in accepting what is- and let's be thankful just for that.
Happy Thanksgiving.
