Thanksgiving Thoughts

Today,  in the USA, is a day to remember the things for which we are thankful.  I have learned to be thankful for many things.

Sometimes it is hard to be thankful for things. I am thankful for adversity because it helps me to learn to overcome problems and find solutions. But for most of my life I was NOT thankful for adversity.

I am thankful for my health.  But the times of sickness also bring lessons in overcoming and in compassion. Yes, I can be thankful that I have been sick, but I am now well.  Being thankful when I am sick requires greater faith, but it is possible.

Try to find something to be thankful for when bad things happen to you. Yes it is difficult, but it will change your view of life.
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate Thanksgiving. (I do, if you were wondering.)

Today, I will be having Thanksgiving lunch with my mother.  As her caregiver, I am very careful when I am out to avoid exposure to illness, so we are being as safe as possible.  It will just be the two of us. We are each cooking part of the meal. I will be taking ham, a custard pie with almond crust, broccoli and whatever else I decide at the last minute to prepare.  She is baking sweet potatoes - as we neither need the sugar of a sweet potato pie or casserole. 

I hope you are staying safe and celebrating your gratitude today.

Until Next Time,
