Thanksgiving Time

We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

 --Harry S. Truman

When the Thanksgiving season comes around, it makes me think about how we should always be in a season of thanksgiving. There’s always a reason to be grateful. We’ve had some challenges the past couple of years and we’ve seen some improvement, and things will continue to improve.

There are silver linings to situations that may appear less than positive. The important thing is to approach each day with a sense of victory. Are you big enough for what the day will bring?

When I am faced with apparently overwhelming schedules and events, I realize that I can handle them. Why? Because I have faith that I can take care of what comes my way. It comes my way for a reason, therefore I know I’m big enough for the task. Instead of looking on the difficult side, I welcome the challenges as another opportunity to be productive. I actually enjoy myself, and am grateful to be in this position.

That’s the key point: Be grateful. Whether you’re having troubles or whether things are going wonderfully, remember to be thankful. Your confidence level will rise to the occasion and you’ll find you have even more reasons to celebrate the season.
