As I read Seth Godin's Blog this morning on Thanksgiving I realised how right he is.
Thankgsiving is about just that THANKS.
How often do we think it's about FOOD? Yes, we all eat far more than we should, and shouldn't we be thankful that we have more than enough to eat? I especially thankful that Thanksgiving is in November and not in May - 4 weeks before bikini season!
Yes, most of us spend this day with family and friends, do we really think about being thankful that we have family and friends to be WITH?
I personally need to STOP and really think about everything I have to be thankful for this year.
I know I have taken for granted the fact that I have my health (there was a scare that really brought this home.) I'm thankful for a Husband that loves me and thinks I'm the only woman in the world. I'm Thankful for 5 great kids who are growing in to fabulous adults.
I'm most thankful for the problems, the growing pains, the lessons learned the hard way as I'm certain it is those things that make each of us the people we are today.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
