“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Yahooey! I love Thanksgiving Week, spending time with family and friends and expressing my gratitude for everything around me. Of course, the fast pace of life and its demands can make it all too easy to forget to give thanks each and every day. Thanksgiving season serves as a lovely reminder that if I just pause to think, I’ll always have cause to thank, and therefore smile.

Every day is a new day. When you wake up each morning, how do you feel? Are you excited… anxious… worried…? Whether we are experiencing hardships or whether things are going fantastic, there’s always a reason to be grateful. So why not wake up each morning with a sense of victory? Know that you are big enough and capable enough to handle whatever challenges that will come your way. Anticipate obstacles. Welcome them with open arms. If you do this, there will be no such thing as “bad news.” Instead, all news will always ultimately be good news.

Thomas Edison used to say that his deafness was his greatest blessing – a blessing because it saved him from having to listen to reasons why things couldn’t be done.

Count and give thanks for your blessings every day. If you are grateful, your positive mind will be one that naturally anticipates happiness, joy, health and success, as well as rise to any occasion. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

Happy Thanksgiving.
