Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving…what are your plans?

Whatever they may be or include, can you approach the day with a real sense of gratitude?

Maybe tomorrow you begin your day by quiet contemplation. Look around. Without rushing, think of the tasks that you will make happen, your creativity, your spirit of abundance. Break your routine, make today about ritual. Be selfish and make your work pleasing to you, I guarantee that the results will also be pleasing to others.

Whether it is just two of you celebrating or twenty at the table, take a moment to be truly thankful for being able to contribute to someone else’s enjoyment and comfort. Delight in the process of making Thanksgiving happen, watch it unfold, become an observer of the good.

At the end of the day, with an overly full tummy, again be thankful for everything you have received. And if you are like me, you’ll be thinking of turkey sandwiches on white bread with mayo and a Martini, that’s my post-Thanksgiving ritual.
