Thanksgiving is my favorite festival. I hate the way Christmas has been co-opted by gift giving and Valentine's can feel so competitive or isolating. But here all we have to do is think about what we are thankful for and eat together.
And then to the gratitude part. I love the idea of dedicating time to being thankful. There is much to be thankful for, even during the hard years. It can be easy to focus on what is wrong, harder sometimes to shine a light on what is good. So I'm grateful to have time where the focus shifts and we think about what we are thankful for.
Here is one charming Thanksgiving story, about chance meetings via text and continued friendship. Which to my mind is what Thanksgiving can be all about...
I'm wishing you light and goodness and a year that gives you much to be thankful for.
