Th, Th, Th, Thanksgiving...Th, Th, Th, Thursday...!!!

Is it any accident that the word THANKSGIVING and the day THURSDAY both begin with the same two letters...!!!

Now, as a Catholic, I celebrate EUCHARIST, a greek word meaning thanksgiving, every Sunday...!!!

But somehow the concept of giving thanks was first and foremost on my mind today...and SO...

I would like to express some thoughts and reflections on that topic in this post!!!

Now, if you're an Active Rain guru in charge of bestowing one of those feature stars, don't give up on this post so quickly...

There are so many things to be thankful for, where does one begin! I'll start with my faith...itself a gift...My faith in God and my faith in family, not only mine, but all families...there is so much stress on families these days it's amazing they still exist...We have our struggles, but we hang in there with one another, loving one another, bearing with one another, sacrificing for one another...!!!

I'm thankful for everything around me, not so much possessions or material things, but people, friends, relatives, customers, consumers, employees, my blog subscribers and readers...everyone in my SOI...for Active Rain and its members and staff...

How about the abundance of food, clothing, plush surroundings that we enjoy as Americans...Our heritage, our ancestors, our good public servants, our military, past and present, our policemen, firemen, municipal employees, educators, clergy, religious, etc...

Maybe it's not a coincidence that we should be thankful two days a week...

Maybe EACH DAY deserves a measure of thankfulness, gratitude, and gratefulness!!!

What a great blog, Fran. I believing focusing on positive things can be a blessing and have much to be thankful for. Hope you have a great, Thursday! Shawn

Great post....I was happy to see Thanksgiving....even after Thanksgiving. Great & Positive Words.

Everyday I wake up and see my kids, my wife and I are healthy with a roof over our heads I am thankful.

It is always nice to just wake up sometimes!

Fran: what a wonderful post! I especially love....

Thanks, Fran

Fran - We truly have much to be thankful for! I agree that we should be thankful every day! :)

Hi Fran-I'm thankful for friends like you GBU-BTW It's in Europe from my pic

Hi, Fran--I recently started a gratitude book, and it is truly amazing how much we have to be grateful for -- even the seeminly smallest things like a car that starts in the morning despite the bitterly cold Wisconsin winter temps, the "out of the blue" referral from a past customer, the dinner invitation from a friend, or the carefree laugh of your 2-1/2 year old nephew. I am finally learn to grateful for all the good in my life rather than think about what I might not have. Thanks for the great post!

Debi: And everything should begin and end with THANKS!!! :)

Pat: Berne??? :)

Thanks, Fran

Peggy,

Thanks for the great comment...It's comments like yours that make posts great! Without a great comment thread, a post is just threadbare!!! :) Thanks, Fran

Fran - This is just wonderful. Practicing gratitude on a daily basis is on my list of goals for this year.

Tom,

If everyone did this, it would cause a turn in our economy and society the likes of which no one has ever seen before!!! :) Thanks, Fran

Fran, every one of my days starts with saying out loud what I'm grateful for and asking for help and guidance where I need it. I also have been sharing with many lately about my "bug me" box - a place to put my negative, doubtful and frustrating thoughts - helps make room for the good stuff and I'm blessed to have much of it. Thank you for your great thoughts - I am grateful for you and the way you share. ~Anne Marie

Anne Marie,

I believe that if thanks is at the core of our being we will be successful in all that we do!!! Thanks, Fran

We are so easy to criticize it should be easier to say thanks. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER.

Terry,

Not only easier, but more admirable and productive!!! Thanks, Fran

JAN

Fram, it is nice to think with an attitude of gratitude every single day!

as my Jeff says jokingly - every day your name is not listed in the obituary section of the newspaper, is a day of THANKS :)

great post Fran

thanks :)

Grace

Lisa: Attitudes of Gratitude are great!!! :)

Grace: And it starts first thing in the morning!!! :)

Thanks, Fran
