Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in America, a day devoted to
gratitude. A most wonderful holiday, Thanksgiving – no matter your ethnic
origin, your religious beliefs, your marital status, your education – you can
celebrate Thanksgiving.
Everyone, everywhere, is thankful for something. From the breath of life itself to material things and
everything in between, Thanksgiving is a day of acknowledgment and
appreciation.

Tomorrow ask someone what they are thankful for. I asked Little
Flower today, and she said she was thankful for the pavement we were walking
on...then she proceeded to turn around and walk backwards.
“Walk backwards with me, mama,” she said. So I did. Two
crazy gals strolling backwards down the road, all the way home. Lots of
giggles.
I am very, very thankful for that moment.
What are you thankful for?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! It was always my favourite holiday in America, for all the reasons that you said, and no presents needed! I hope that you have a lovely day whatever you are doing tomorrow, walking backwards along the pavement or anything else!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissy what a fabulous post - made me really think about things - I guess I moan and groan all the time about silly things but thinking about what I have to be thankful for - being here in good health, being part of a wonderful family which includes all the gorgeous people out there in Blogland. A big thank you to you one and all - a big hug to you Chrissie as I always love it when you put in a new post. Have a fabulous week

Walking backwards is a good start...doing something different......we don't have to conform we can walk backwards now and again...the little ones can remind us what it is like to do this :-) I am thankful for my wonderful husband who understands me so well.

Very lovely post Chrissie, Little Flower is so gorgeous, and I think Thanksgiving should be celebrated every day of the year, worldwide, for we all have so much to be thankful for, I agree!

My Thankful List is VERY long, but the main ones are my lovely family, my health...I've been feeling ropey this past week and it's hit me hard as I haven't been able to get out and about as usual. I am so Thankful for this wonderful Blog Community, and to be able to connect with lovely blog-friends like yourself. Happy Thanksgiving - have a lovely day. X
