"Happy Thanksgiving"
Hello, Friend!
What are you feeling grateful for this Thansgiving? I wonder?
Traditionally, Thanksgiving has been a time to give thanks for the harvest, for the bounty that we have. The custom of giving thanks for the annual harvest is one of the world's oldest celebrations.
But, bounty and abundance come in many forms. And, what I am feeling really grateful for this Thanksgiving is LIFE! First and foremost, I am grateful for LIFE! Not everyone woke up today. I am grateful to be alive! I have had many close calls this past couple of years. Many health challenges and several surgeries. And, on January 29th, I was in a car accident that left me with multiple injuries and totalled my vehicle! It was a reminder that I cannot make my heart beat one beat, and that the one who gives me life is far greater than any circumstance, condition or situation I have ever faced or will ever face. And, that is something I am SUPER grateful for! I am grateful that my body is healing and I am on the road to recovery! Yay! :-)
I am also grateful for connections with loved ones and friends, for a roof over my head, food in the fridge, and the heart to do good for others.
Gratitude is the frequency that is harmonious with abundance.
Research has shown that gratitude has a profound impact on our physical and mental well-being. When you feel grateful for what's already in your life, you become a powerful magnet for love, joy and abundance.
There are so many ways we can show our gratitude: being patient in traffic or in a line up at the grocery store; saying a kind word to a grocery clerk who has been standing, checking groceries for hours; being patient and kind when waiting on hold for a lengthy time and finally having our call answered. (I sat on hold with one organization for over an hour this past week.)
I am so grateful when I go to the grocery store and I see all of the hard working people making sure we have groceries to buy. And I am grateful for the food that is on the shelves. Think of all that it takes to get the grocery items and produce to our stores and onto the shelves!
I am so very grateful for all the wonderful people that I have in my life, like you Friend, and I am grateful for all the lives that I have been blessed to serve and support over the years!
And, I thank God that I am still here, and still serving! If you are dealing with one of life's blows, or feeling stuck, or like you are being held back by fear, self-doubt, worry, or anything else, I am here to support you.

Friend, I am wishing you a harvest of Blessings, lots of Love, good Health, and good times!
