Every day needs to be Thanksgiving Day

I had a great Thanksgiving Day. I hope you did also. Although I cooked and was very tired after the day was over, all the work was worth the effort I made. Our house seems to be the family gathering- place. I try to make it so. We always invite anyone who wants to come from within our scope of friends and other people we encounter.

I feel that itˇ*s a gift to be able to make people feel they are truly welcome at your home. Others can sense your sincerity. There is no gift exchange on thanksgiving day. Thereˇ*s just good old-fashioned camaraderie and affection. We seldom, if ever, have disagreements during our day of thanksgiving. This year was especially enjoyable. A nephew drove quite a distance just for the event. The gesture was especially meaningful because he drove alone. We felt that our celebration meant a lot to him and the recognition make our day, as well.

After asking the blessing on our scrumptious meal, everyone relayed what he was thankful for, especially. I am always amazed at what people share. Although some of the guests were shy, with a little coaxing, they joined in.

How was your thanksgiving and do you just reserve giving thanks for Thanksgiving Day. You need to give thanks every day. Everyone is blessed and has much for which to give thanks if he will stop and reflect on his life.

Keep being grateful and you will find that your life will continually improve. You receive, what you give.

If youˇ*re looking for Christmas gift ideas, you might consider giving my book Wisdom for the Journey. You can purchase them through this website, call me at 573- 270 8806 or from all online and some regular bookstores. The book is uplifting and makes a great coffee table book.

Take care and God Bless.
