Being Thankful in 2009
Thanksgiving is a holiday – and a season. We associate it with many things including: family gatherings, feasting, stories about the Pilgrims and native peoples, and football.
But thanksgiving is also an attitude for living. Amidst so many other things that happen, it is easy to have the attitude to become diluted – or even lost – in the blur of our lives.
A friend of mine posted this challenge on his Facebook page:
Every day until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it as your status. The longer you do it, the harder it gets.
I’ve taken up the challenge – and would encourage you to do so as well. Even if you don’t use Facebook, you can still make a list of things for which you are thankful. And let me know – does it get harder to do each time?
