Thanksgiving is a reminder that, no matter what we may be going through in life, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. Things that we ourselves may not even give a second thought to may be the same things that somebody else is wishing that they themselves had.

1. A warm place to sleep. Even if we're in the middle of a blizzard, it is comforting to know that at the end of it all we have a warm, safe place to lay our heads at night. Have you ever had a rotten night's sleep when sleeping away from home and wish that you were home in your own bed? Never take for granted how lucky you are to have a safe, dry, warm haven. Even a bad day comes to a good end when you have your warm bed to sleep in.

2. The ability to work. I know...sometimes it's not easy to get up in the morning and go to work. And some work days are more challenging than others. But being healthy enough to report to work every day truly is a blessing. Many people out there are too ill to work, or are having trouble finding a suitable job, and would change places with us in a heartbeat if given the chance.

3. Access to good food. Although we may spend a lot of money every month on food, especially as of late, having easy access to food is something not everyone has. When I get frustrated by the cost of my grocery bill, I like to remind myself that I am fortunate to just be able to drive to the grocery store and buy that food. With the current supply chain issues, we may have to make some adjustments with the foods we're buying, but that's way better than going hungry. According to the organization, Action Against Hunger, 'Around the world, more than enough food is produced to feed the global population, but as many as 811 million people still go hungry. After steadily declining for a decade, world hunger is on the rise, affecting 9.9 percent of people globally.'

4. Access to clean water. Have you ever been in a situation where you've had to have your water turned off in your home for a while? If you have, chances are you never realized just how different things would be if you had to live this way all of the time. My water was turned off one day while a plumber was fixing something in my home. It was then that I realized how often I actually headed to the faucet to get some water. I was going to rinse out a glass. No water. I later went to water my plants. No water. I went to wash my hands. Things like this went on and on until he completed his work. I had never before realized just how often I headed to the faucet to grab some water without even thinking about it. Be thankful for the fact that you have such easy access to clean water.

5. The people in our lives. Whether it is your family, friends, or co-workers, there are undoubtedly people in your life that you can depend on when you need them. Never take for granted the people that you have in your life that are there for you when you need them the most. We may not always be thinking about how important it is or how lucky we are to have people such as these in our lives, but consider a world where our 'go to' people didn't exist. The relationships that we form as we go through life are the most important assets we can have and we should never take these people for granted or forget how truly fortunate we are to have them all in our lives.

Finally, on this day of Thanksgiving, I am truly thankful to you for being a loyal reader. I don't take for granted even one moment that my life is so much richer because you are in it. Wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful day filled with love, gratitude, blessings...and a generous slice of your favorite pie!

'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 makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.' (Melody Beattie)
