Thanksgiving is almost here and we need to slow down and think about what the celebration is really about. This is a time for us to get together with our families and friends; take a moment and reflect upon all our blessings and how fortunate we are to have everything that we have.
Too many of us think that Thanksgiving is just another day for a legal holiday so we can take off from work. It is just a day to watch football and kick back and have a big dinner.
A huge segment of our population has really lost focus about the meaning of Thanksgiving.
We forget that when our country was younger and most of the population made their living from farming this was the end of the harvesting season. Farmers and everybody would give thanks for the abundance that was given to us. This has changed into just being a time to be thankful for what we have.
Now it seems that the season has deteriorated to the kickoff of the shopping season before Christmas. We need to retake Thanksgiving Day and remember all the blessings that we have and why we should really be thankful.
Take the time to decorate your home and plan to really celebrate the day with all your friends and family. We are fortunate because all the colors that are tied to the season are really beautiful. Do whatever is necessary to get the family into the mood and to understand the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
Remember that the most valuable things you have are free. Never forget that your health, your family and the love given does not have a price tag. Yet most of the time we forget how thankful we should be.
