Time to Be Thankful
Kathy Riggs November 23rd, 2009
Thanksgiving is this week and the holiday season is beginning.
It is always an exciting time when the stores pull out the decorations and Christmas trees arrive from the North Carolina mountains.
As much as I love the Christmas season, I do wish retail America could wait until the last bite of Thanksgiving dessert is savored before launching full speed into Christmas. In recent years Thanksgiving tends to get lost in the mass of multi-colored electric lights and rows of wrapping paper. So I will take this week’s post to focus on Thanksgiving.
One of the most American of holidays, Thanksgiving is rooted in the early days of this country when Pilgrims and native Americans feasted together and expressed gratitude for their bounty.
Despite these economic times we have so much more than many people throughout the world. (If we didn’t, why are so many people trying to come into this country?) There are signs the economy is improving and still, most of us are much more affluent than millions of the planets inhabitants. Yes, we have all cut back in the past year, but are postponing a vacant or eating at home more after really a sacrifice?
So when you gather around your Thanksgiving table, stop and focus on what you have rather than what you want and, like me, I’m sure you’ll find your cornucopia overflows.
on the lighter side…
