There have been numerous posts, blogs and articles in recent weeks about Thanksgiving Day and gratitude and even more about food, food, food but I’m thinking bigger, much bigger.
Every day is Thanksgiving or at least it should be.
Thanks: to express gratitude, appreciation or acknowledgement, a grateful feeling.
Giving: to give a gift, to present voluntarily without expecting something in return.
Gratitude: the quality or feeling of being thankful or of appreciation
When someone does or says something nice for you or to you, how does that make you feel?
So if you are still feeling full as I am from the feast last Thursday, consider the following:
Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life Rumi
Nothing to be grateful for? Consider what the great American jazz trumpeter and singer Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong (1901-1971) had to say in his 1967 classic What a Wonderful World.

Happy thanks giving days to you and to all whom you love.
