I love Thanksgiving – It’s my favorite holiday.
We certainly have a lot to be thankful for, and there are no
gifts to deal with.
Thanksgiving Day is a day to relax a bit and reflect a bit
and spend some real quality time with your family. It's a great time to think about what happened in your life since
last Thanksgiving. When you consider
that, it’s not only amazing how quickly time goes, but also the many things
that ‘happened’. Things got done, new experiences
occurred, different parts of the world were explored, special moments happened…a
lot of things ‘happened’ since last Thanksgiving.
These are what we should reflect on tomorrow; and be
thankful for those experiences.
Hopefully, many of the things that happened were positive, but we learn from the negative things as well. Also, be thankful for the day, the specific moment
in time. Things move fast, but the simple moment in time, the present, is what we have at any point in time.
The trick can be putting the present, the single days, together
to accomplish big things and overall purpose – whatever those are for you.
Me for Thanksgiving? I’ll get my Thanksgiving Day trail run in with
some of my friends. I'll spend some time thinking about what things 'happened' since last Thanksgiving. I'll spend the rest of the day with my family and being thankful. The earlier workout will give me the green-light
to eat a little more – perfect. I love Thanksgiving dinner.
Enjoy the day tomorrow, and I hope we catch up soon.
