remember those who aren’t so lucky, and be grateful that you are.
Look around
the table, be it at your home, a home of friend or family. Or if you don’t
have that, a restaurant that is giving away a meal that day. And think
about what is in your life, you should be thankful for.
Maybe even
share that thought with those who you share the meal. Sometimes we
forget how lucky we are. Some forget and
count their richness
in money, when it is actually the richness of a good family and
friends.. As long as you have a roof
over your head, food to eat each
day, a warm place to be.. a job… and enough money to keep
the bill takers from your door… you have a lot to be thankful for.
There is no
good will that comes out with arguing with Aunt Ethel, or Uncle
Fred, or cousin Ruth, so try to let go for this day, as a practice.
Just smile
and say, “I never thought of it that way”, and walk away to another person
in the room. No matter what is served on
the table, even if it
isn’t the way you would have cooked it, or served it,.. remember for this day,
you didn’t have to cook it. And you are luckier than a 1/3 of the people on
this earth. Just for that day.. smile,
be a people watcher,
And know
tomorrow is another day. Be thankful for
the life you have. No matter how
small or how large it is..
And be
thankful it only comes once a year………….joking…
Enjoy.. I wish
all of you readers, a wonderful day.. filled with good food, great
friends and family and full of laughter… I know our house will… We will
have 17 in our little house.. but it will be full to the brim, with friends
and family… and love…
Thank you,
Richardson and Linekin family for showing me .. what a real Thanksgiving
day is like.. I will have you all in my mind and heart, as we
celebrate ours.
