Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an interesting Holiday, it has history associated with all sorts of things from Pilgrims giving thanks to God, Indian massacres to the Union victory at Gettysburg. Today the thanks giving seemingly is for days off work for some, time and a half for others, football, ditching the diet and workout routine for mass consuming of vittles, family (maybe), friends (probably), coming sales for mass consuming all manner of merchandise and that nap after the mass consuming of vittles is consummated with pumpkin or pecan pie. 

Now imagine a world without Christmas displays before December 1st, the whole concept of "black Friday" sales unknown, only those having chosen a career in public service (maintaining basic services, medical personnel, police and fire, etc) required to work, Thanksgiving being a day for actually giving thanks.

So take a few minutes today in quiet contemplation and give thanks for the lessons learned, the people who have touched you this past year. Love. Gently embrace the new person you are becoming, your unfoldment in Spirit is ongoing regardless of the amount of days in this flesh, your growth a daily occurrence because of a simple reliance on a Power Greater Than Yourself. And have seconds of that pie, I mean it is Thanksgiving, Right?
