I began writing a poem for my Thanksgiving message, but somehow, it didn’t seem profound enough for what I consider to be one of the most important days of the year:.. a day in which we gather with family and friends to give thanks for all that is good in our lives. On this day, most of us set aside petty grievances and minor problems to focus on the important people in our lives.
So this Thanksgiving, what I wish for you is:
- Friends who will celebrate you for who you are.
- Family members who will love you unconditionally.
- People in your life who will care enough to be constructively, lovingly honest.
- An attitude of abundance, even when it’s not there in your life.
- The courage to create freely, and generously, however you are inspired.
- A heart full of compassion, and the wisdom and strength to follow your heart.
- Much for which to be grateful, on Thanksgiving and every day throughout the year.
I wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!
