What are you thankful for? That seems like such a loaded question this year. One would be hard-pressed to find someone who says 2020 has been a good year, and yet, here we are, still celebrating and hoping for better days ahead.
It is a testament to the human spirit that no matter how beleaguered we are, we still have within us the capacity to hope and be grateful. American author Melody Beattie sums up the richness of giving thanks:
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. Think about it. In a society where status is often based on excess – more money, more property, more power, more prestige, simply put, more – having enough is the essence of what this day celebrates. And so, today, we wish you enough. Happy Thanks Giving! – Now Habersham
