Turkeys at Steve Magin's cabin
Today is a day to be thankful for all that is. This kind of unfettered gratitude allows us to stop trying to control outcomes. It is the key that unlocks positive energy in our lives. It turns problems into blessings and challenges into gifts. Thanksgiving has the potential to fill us with happy memories of friends, family and loved ones. We have the opportunity to create space for true gratitude. Worry, cynicism, greed and apathy can be set aside at least for 24 hours.
There is great spiritual wisdom embedded in this tradition of Thanksgiving. We slow enough down to realize that time is more precious and scarce than all of the material things that we seem to cherish, run after and covet. There is a light of hope that shines as we affirm all that is good in our lives. Be joyful as we all gather around our tables. It is a chance for renewal. You are loved.
