Happy Thanksgiving

We are celebrating Thanksgiving day in this part of the world.

For me this is a holiday that celebrates family, community, connection and gratitude. I find the sales and marketing frenzy to be annoying. The constant message that you are not enough. That you need to buy X so you can be enough. Be cool. So sad really. It is not about stuff. It has never been about stuff.

On this day, if only on this day, take the time to reflect on what you are thankful for. Focus on what you have instead of what you want.

I am thankful for so much. Here is the start of my long list: Health. Love. Family. Friends. Enough food. Enough money. Choices.......

What are you thankful for today?
