Thankful Thanksgiving

In life we do things.  Some we wish we had never done.  Some we wish we could replay a hundred times in our heads.  But they all make us who we are, and in the end, they shape every detail about us.  If we were to reverse any of them, we would not be the person we are.  So just live, make mistakes, have wonderful memories.  But never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly where it is you are going.

They say that yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a vision, but today is a gift, that is why they call it “the present.”  It is important to learn from our mistakes so that we can apply them today to shape a better tomorrow.  Every positive thought that you put into the ether can be soaked up by every person and everything around you.

The same happens with negative energy.  This is just another reason to live your life for today and look for the positive that exists in every situation.  Never say, “Why is this happening to me?”  That is acknowledging a negative situation in a negative way which compounds the negative energy.  Instead, say “What can I learn from this situation?”  turning a negative situation into a positive one by being grateful for and not forgetting about the blessings that you already have in life. By looking for a way to learn and grow from a tough situation.

To be thankful for something is to express gratitude; to be pleased for the little things.  They add up.  Now is the time of year when being thankful is brought to the forefront.  It is important to be thankful for family, friends, employment, and a roof over your head.  Maybe the rent is late…  You still have the roof.  Maybe the restaurant does not have what you want…  Some people do not have any food, so be grateful for what you have.  If you have food on the brain, be thankful for The Crab Shack in Edgewater, because they will always have what you want.
