Happy Thanksgiving Canada.
This is Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada and I just wanted to do a short post on giving thanks.
We live in tumultuous times – perhaps we always did and just did not know it. It was not until the advent of TV and more recently, street level blackberry journaling that the minutiae of the day to day happenings around the world were brought into our living rooms. It certainly underlines the many things that we have to be thankful for in our lives.
I think it is a wonderful holiday. The gathering of families to celebrate and give thanks for the bounty in our lives.
What if we do that daily? I don’t mean the family celebrations – and I’m all for those – but just the act of giving thanks? What if at the end of the day we just go over the day and pick out just a few things to give thanks for for that day? They don’t have to be big, even things like a beautiful sunny day, or a good rainy day – yes, those are good too, the earth needs the rain – or maybe you made some progress in your online marketing. Personal development experts suggest a minimum of five items, and yes, they can be repetitive.
Giving thanks changes our perspective on our own lives. It’s too easy to dwell on that which is not right instead of that which is. Yet, by concentrating on that which is right we garner strength to continue, to go forward, to achieve personal goals in all areas of our lives.
Give thanks daily.
