Thanking Thanksgiving


Today we celebrate Thanksgiving in America, a day of thanks and gratitude for all that we have, but let’s not limit it to one day.

Let us feel the spirit rising in us that has risen in so many others to be grateful of our accomplishments and failures, for our loves and our losses, for everything that has brought us forward to this point in time.

The Pilgrims were impoverished and made seven more times graves than huts, but they didn’t let that stop them from giving thanks for each other and their experience.

We are survivors. Reflect on the goodness of the world, the kindness of strangers and the power of love. No matter where you are on the globe, I am grateful for you. Thank you for being here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all even if it is technically not your holiday, everyday is Thanksgiving.

Every moment is a reason to be grateful for existence and all we have been given. We do not need a designated holiday to appreciate what we are, our innate capacity to love, accept and enrich the lives of all others everywhere.
