I have heard several people say this year that they are looking forward to “Turkey Day.” Are we seriously taking the Thanks out of Thanksgiving?! Also, I find myself and others wishing people a Happy Thanksgiving, but why aren’t we actually saying “Thank you”?
It seems as though each day we are waking up to more and more bad news–the stock market tumbling, unemployment rising, home values declining, etc. So what do we have to be grateful for?
Plenty.
It is easy to focus on what we don’t have… a new car, a bigger house, more vacation days, a nicer TV, and the list goes on. Tomorrow as you’re sitting around the giant turkey, don’t forget to stop and think of all that you do have. Food, housing, clothing, and transportation are the material things and we definitely should be grateful for them. But our friends and family… no amount of money can take that away.
So before you eat more turkey than was thought humanly possible, say thank you to these people in your life. They are more important than any bird.
