Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

This Thanksgiving I think we can all agree that we have so much to be Thankful and Grateful for and many Blessings too!  We have come a long way since Thanksgiving last year!  We can go back and rehash everything that has happened in this past year or we can stay in the present and look to the future!

There’s an analogy about the past and the future using our car, it goes like this, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car and you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror.  The reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past (rearview mirror) is not near as important as what’s in your future(windshield).  I like this analogy because it just makes sense. 

This Thanksgiving let us give Thanks for all of those people who help us each and every day, let them know how much they mean to you!  There is always something to be Grateful for, even if it is the falling leaves. The more we focus on Gratitude it will in turn bring us more happiness and well-being.  Finally, simply counting our Blessings this Thanksgiving!  The blessings of good health, all of those recovering from all illnesses, the blessings of family and the never ending blessings of being here with each of you!

Your Thanksgiving may still look and feel different, that’s ok! Let us all do our best to find ways to be Thankful, Grateful and Blessed this Thanksgiving!

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some
