As we head into Thanksgiving Week, we will undoubtedly be inundated with the Holiday\/Christmas spirit as determined by advertisers and marketers. We will be cajoled, manipulated, and suggested to that we buy more stuff and give it to other people. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as you have the means and are doing it for the right reasons.<\/p>\n
We are a giving society. We give of ourselves out of love, out of respect, out of spite, and out of need. It always amazes me when a disaster strikes anywhere in the world, hundreds of people will swarm to the affected area and give there blood, sweat, and tears to help.<\/p>\n
And the only thing those people can do is say “Thank you.”<\/p>\n
No other words will do. No other actions can even come close to describing the gratitude those two words convey.<\/p>\n
We need more “Thank yous.”<\/p>\n
Again this year, I continue the tradition of saying what I’m thankful for. I urge you to do the same. Share it with your family, the world, or keep it to yourself. If we take the time to say “Thank you” and be grateful for what we have, more good comes into our lives.<\/p>\n
