Let each day be a thanksgiving.
Each November, the United States celebrates a national day of Thanksgiving. It is my personal favorite holiday, and the one with which I most identify.
Gratitude is one of the values I hold most dear, each and every day, so I particularly appreciate having one day each year when gratitude and giving thanks are publicly recognized.
But rather than expressing gratitude once a year, let each day be a thanksgiving - a day of profound gratitude for all of life.
Why not take time today to celebrate your gratitude.
Make a gratitude list today. Consider beginning a Gratitude Journal and making an entry in that journal every day. My gratitude list begins with the gift of my own life, my being. I then add my health, my friends and family, and ... the list gets very long.
What is on your of gratitude list?
Celebrate your gratitude today... Form a circle and hold hands with friends and family. Raise a plate of food with outstretched fingers and offer thanks to Spirit. Place a candle and special remembrances on a table and offer thanks for those who have gone before. Let Spirit guide the form of your celebration today.
