Looks like we’ve almost made it. We have a few more weeks ahead of us until we can kiss the unprecedented year 2021 good riddance! For many it has been the most difficult year in memory. For others it has been challenging but not that bad. No matter how tough it has been, be thankful. Remember, someone somewhere is fighting to survive.
THANKSGIVING
A favorite holiday is just days away. Thanksgiving 2020 may take on a whole new look and feel. Some may choose to stick with tradition. Others may choose to treat it as just another calendar day due to lack of family, resources, or concern about spreading the Delta variant to our loved ones. Whatever your situation is, remember the day is less about the menu or the number of guests around the table and more about being grateful.
FOCUS
We tend to focus on gratitude especially on Thanksgiving Day. How about the other 364 days? A daily practice of gratitude can help you focus on the positive things occurring in your life instead of harping on the negative. If you are feeling bummed, a reminder to refocus can actually help you feel happier.

TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
The expression to take for granted means “to accept without question or objection,” and often implies a lack of appreciation or gratitude. We all do it at one point or another. Don’t ever assume you will always have it. Maybe it is time to re-examine your life and think about the things you take for granted.
YOUR HEALTH
We wake up each day assuming we will feel fine or at least better. A healthy mind and body bring freedom that we take for granted until we no longer have it. Take precautions, be aware, pay attention and don’t take your good health for granted. Be smart and wear your mask out of respect for others and be grateful they do the same for you.
