This Thanksgiving……
Eat a little less, breathe a little more.
Be thankful a little more, and complain a little less.
Appreciate those who prepared your meal, and remember those who, this year, will go hungry.
Remember those loved ones who you could not be with, and love the ones you are with.
Watch a little less television, and talk to each other a little more.
Volunteer to clean up, and resist the urge to leave early.
Look into the eyes of your family members a little more, and make excuses a little less.
Be grateful for all the loving people in your life, and never forget all the military families who will have an empty table setting this year. Keep them close to your heart.
Be a little more tolerable, and forgiving and peaceful. And don’t expect the same in return.
And when the time comes to go home, hug your family like you will never see them again, and let them hug you back.
This Thanksgiving be present in all the moments that you are offered, and offer a few more presents.
Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
Peace, always….Chris
