MEDITATIONS

AN OSTENTATIOUS TITLE FOR MY THOUGHTS

Giving Thanks Daily

11/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Thanksgiving has come already. It’s a day about celebrating gratitude for what we have. This usually includes food, entertainment, friends, and family. Breaking them down, they support our needs at all levels from basic survival to human connection. All in all, the values of Thanksgiving are wonderful to have a holiday for.

Unfortunately, some people have to work, are separated from their families, or struggle to have food on the table. Not everyone can celebrate like in the Hallmark specials, which is at the heart of this post.

Even though the holiday passed, it shouldn’t stop us from having a daily Thanksgiving mindset. It’d be great to gorge on feasts every day, but I’m looking to something deeper here.

​Think about some of the things you’ve done for past Thanksgivings.
  • Prepare a home-cooked meal
  • Eat with people you care about
  • Catch up with family
  • Laugh with friends
  • Call far away family members
  • Appreciate all of the above

​These are actions that we should do weekly if not daily. Of course, there will be stress and struggles, but it’s all the more reason to cherish and incorporate these values of Thanksgiving into your life consistently rather than leave it to holidays that come far and few between throughout the year.
