It’s the Friday before Thanksgiving and everyone is wishing each other a happy Thanksgiving as they leave the office, looking forward to as far as I can make out a weekend full of planning, shopping, standing in long lines to do a litany of endless tasks that have to be completed before the actual day of thanks. It just strikes me as odd that we would spend a week of complaining about all of the things that we have to get accomplished so that we can spend a few hours of gratitude on Thursday.

So I decided to be grateful starting today, I’m grateful that I have family and friends to be able to give to, and that I have such good health that I can be superwoman for a few day to accomplish what I want. I’m grateful for all of the little simple pleasures that this holiday brings like making cranberry sauce with my daughter,  and I’m truly grateful for all of the abundance that I have in this life and I must admit I now feel more relaxed and happy. Now if I can only remember this beforeI get stressed out next year! Namaste and Happy Holiday.
