No, I don't have my months mixed up.
I know it's October and Thanksgiving isn't until November 26th. I'm sure after all the candy has been passed out for halloween and everything is settled down, we'll begin our preparations for Thanks
giving and the traditional Thanksgiving Day weekend.
But what if we extend it just a bit further this year and get thankful earlier. Why stop at a day or a weekend...try something completely different and try being thankful for the month. October is cancer awareness month...notice it's a month. I have been thankful for years over the recovery of cancer victims...they call them survivors. I have lost family memebers to cancer. I have had family member surviors too. My thankfulness doesn't stop at the end of a month.
With all the doom and gloom, there is many things to be thankful for, why not make our focus for the whole month of November? A time of being thankful and appreciate everyone and everything. I'll bet it will give your Thanksgiving Day Weekend a whole new meaning.
Here is a few thoughts, I am thankful for my children...they don't always do as I do but they do more than I could ever wish for. I am thankful to have such great grandchildren that make me smile and happy to be alive to share with them the joys of growing up.
I am so thankful that I have a wife that is committed, understands and shares everything with me as a life partner, friend, lover and most of all, my soulmate.
I appreciate my friends from all walks of life. They add the glue to keep me grounded and focused on the difference that makes the world so interesting. I appreciate my clients for trusting me to help make a difference in their lives. I appreciate that most of my clients have jobs in a state where 15 unemployment has hit nearly every family in some form or another. I pray for those that don't have jobs they will be able to find solice in family and friends while they are looking for employment. I pray that their life sustaining funding will be extended until employment is created.
I apprciate the cultures of the world for presenting different viewpoints so I can expand my global view beyond just my city, state and country.
When you consider what we have to be thankful for and to whom it will take more than a day.
Just some passing thoughts as I was going over my calendar for next week. Have you given any thoughts to being more thankful than just a day?
