Today is celebrated in America as Thanksgiving Day. Somewhat based on a story (true or not, doesn’t matter) about the English settlers in what’s now called New England celebrating surviving a year plus a harvest. We celebrate with family dinners and the traditional turkey.
Some people will have a struggle this year. Family members who passed away. Relationships strained due to politics, gender identity, sharp words thoughtlessly spoken.
Perhaps stories of things that have happened or people who came into our lives could help ease the pain. Perhaps pausing our hot buttons and listening to the stories of others would help. Perhaps just being generous and serving.
Perhaps serving others today. There are community Thanksgiving dinners where homeless and less privileged people are served a decent meal.
Mostly, pausing to remember all for which we should be grateful and often overlook.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving no matter what.
