Give Thanks To You This Thanksgiving

We are now approaching a special holiday we call, Thanksgiving.
This is surely a time to reflect and think of others.

It is a great time to get together with family and friends.
This is all good, but somehow, I think of all of the people who
don't really have close families that they can connect to and neither should they. The way families are treating each other these days, I'll
rather hang out at a Coffee house and chat with a stranger or work in a soup kitchen where you could meet some wonderful people.

It is those people, I'm thinking about when I say to give to yourself and feel joy within yourself. Why? Because you are your own best friend.

You have my permission to start Thanksgiving today and be joyful in it!
The art of thanksgiving should be a all-year theme where we all should be
giving to others and most importantly, yourself.


You good spirit will give a special gift to others and others will attach
the goodness of your heart onto others they meet.

So,by confronting self and feeling good about yourself, you can stand strong for others because Thanksgiving is only one day but the art of giving of self is now, yesterday, and tomorrow.

It is a great thing to get together with friend and family outside of the holidays because when the holidays come, you don't feel guilty you didn't see them, or have a gift for them. Why? Because you saw them yesterday.

And so, in review: Love Yourself so that you can Love Someone else.
