It's Thanksgiving Again!

As I have written before,this is truly one of my favorite holidays and seasons. While I may love the warmth of spring, the light of summer, the crispness of fall, I also love the starkness of winter. I love the look of trees with no leaves as much as I love the budding of new leaves or the color they brilliantly display just before they fall. One of the reasons I love this time of year is that it is filled with celebrations and holidays and ways that we create our own light, no matter how dark it is outside.

I especially love Thanksgiving because it reminds us of our many blessings. This year I was particularly thankful for a suggestion by my niece Courtney to post something that I was grateful for every day in November on Facebook. What a wonderful idea! I've loved it. I did get a bit of a slow start so I had to do a bunch on the first day but that is way ok!! So I'm thankful to Courtney and to all who spread gratitude. I've said this before, focusing on what I'm grateful for has changed my life. 

As this year draws to a close, I'm thinking about an even bigger gratitude challenge. I've been reading a lot about being grateful for your problems too. They are showing you places you need to grow or wake up or pay attention. I'll write more on that later. For now - A very Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season to All. May we all be grateful for every facet of life that makes up the jewel that each of us are! Remember to be grateful for who you are, what you contribute to the world and all of the ways you have spread light and joy as you have walked this path called life!
