Gratitude: Don't Look Past It

Here we are again, in America we are looking straight into the eyes of the Thanksgiving holiday. It is easy to look past this holiday and move into the Christmas season. I think that would be a mistake.   As we give thanks for our forefathers who risked their lives and families to begin a new adventure that we now call our home, it is important to recognize the significance of gratitude. This is about more than a shallow nod to turkey and dressing with friends and family. This holiday is about what truly defines us.   Are you a person who lives entitled, assuming that you deserve all the benefits that have been bestowed upon you? Are you more worried about what you don’t have instead of being grateful for many things that you do? Are you quick to show appreciation to those who come across your path every day and make your life a little easier or better?   Gratitude is a choice. Take a moment and listen to our recent podcast about being grateful. It’s a short reminder for us to focus on what matters this Thanksgiving.
