This Thanksgiving, for some people there may not be a lot to be thankful for. I, for one, would like to just offer up the old cliche that you should be thankful for something. Even if it is the fact that you are still alive.
Our national leaders have their work cut out for them and they are being watched very closely by the world. If they make any mistakes in trying to straighten out the economy, they are going to have to change direction and do it quickly. We didn’t get into this situation overnight and we won’t be getting it out of it overnight either.
If you are feeling lousy, try to remember that there may have been some times when you were feeling better. Those times will come again. For now, think of this Thanksgiving as our forefathers might have (well, that isn’t true since my forefathers weren’t pilgrims but let’s just go with it). They joined together with the Native Americans and shared their meals. Try to remember to share your meal with somebody.
If you are a caregiver for somebody with special needs, thank you for being in that person’s life. They may not have the ability to thank you or show their appreciation. Kindly let me mention something for them.
You make a difference in their life and you are the engine that keeps them moving. Thank you for remembering to stay healthy yourself and be able to care for them day in and day out.
For those of you working through the holidays, please take a moment to rest and count your blessings that you are employed. There are millions who aren’t and some of them are hungry. Business will come and go, but friendship, family and health are the foundations that will help you along with whatever spiritual beliefs you have this holiday season.
If you are living in Northeast and Northern Central states, please stay warm. If you are in the Gulf regions, please stay dry and safe. If you are living in the Tornado Alley parts of America, hopefully things won’t be windy for you.
If you are in the military, please be safe and know that your loved ones miss you. If you are living in another country, thanks for reading my blog and know that we are all together on one planet. That sounds hokey but the planet is getting smaller and smaller every day whether we like it or not.
For our leaders, please use common sense in making your decisions and remember that there are people who can’t take care of themselves who need help. While we are at it, for the people who are helping others, the chances are that this year, they may need some help and prayers as well.
Happy Holidays, gang! If I missed anything else and wasn’t thankful to a particular person or group, drop me a note or post me. To all my friends all over the world, please be safe and have a happy healthy time no matter what you are celebrating. May the spirits of happiness and wealth visit you in the coming year as well.
