Thanksgiving- More than a Holiday

I was thinking a few days ago about Thanksgiving- and how it really is more than a holiday of indulgence and football. The significance of that day is how people of different cultures came together and shared a moment together and were thankful for all they had been blessed with.

Even though some countries don’t celebrate Thanksgiving- I believe that we all have something (or many) things that we are thankful for and that we should spend the month of November and December focusing on those things that are of importance to us. Be grateful for the little things in your life- and in counting your own blessings- look around and see how you can reach out and help another, a perfect stranger possibly.

When we reflect on the richness of our own lifes- I personally believe giving and doing for others are the things that make our lives even richer. I challenge you all to spend the holiday season in love and in service to others and see how it impacts those around you and also who you are. I bet such an act would change all of our lives in a positive way and couldn’t we use a little more of that?

Gifts to Leave Behind

Marcel and I won’t be spending the holidays this year with his family so we’ve been trying to come up gift ideas to leave behind for them. They aren’t really big on gift giving, but yet I happen to love seeing a person’s face light up when they have been given something they love. I know how much Marcel’s nieces would love to get their hands on some Taylor Swift tickets and I’m thinking if we can make it happen that it will be their favorite Christmas gift ever.
