Thanksgiving is upon us and with it comes the start of the holiday season. It’s been a rough year for many Americans and though times may be tough, do your best to focus on all of the blessings in your life. Know that the most valuable among these are your family, your friends, and your health.
As you gather with acquaintances new and old, remember that what makes these holidays most meaningful is not a tipsy head or a bloated stomach so be mindful of your “celebrating.”
Thanksgiving is a perfect time to take a moment to reflect on the year gone by, make some decisions about things (within your control) you’d like to change moving forward, and start preparing for the year ahead. You want to improve your health? Make a resolution now to start that new diet and exercise plan. Why wait until January 1? Do your personal relationships need attention? Write down your goals for making amends and get started today. The sooner, the better.
Finally, remember to take time out each and every day to recognize and be thankful for the many gifts you enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
