Gratitude

People in the US celebrate Thanksgiving holiday today.

It is traditionally a time for overeating, families meeting, families arguing (or hiding the disagreements behind a smiling veneer). 

Except for those who must work today. Commerce now never takes a day off.

The best celebration takes only a few moments.

Pause.

Reflect on those people, events, and situations for which we are deeply grateful. Or even those that touch us however briefly that leave a scent of fresh life.

Perhaps make a list. In your mind. Write it. Say thank you.

Perhaps a list of those that caused some grief. Write it on paper. Tear it into small pieces and toss in the rubbish. Say good bye.
