THANKSGIVING



Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an opportunity to share a kind thought or gentle smile
Thankfulness is wisdom gained, sharing your experiences of what love is
It is a time to reflect on your triumphs, but not to dwell on the setbacks
Every road may not always be straight
There will be pathways that have detours that leave an impression
Detours that teach us
Every moment in time is a learning experience
When we are steady in our convictions and communicate effectively, an answer appears
The journey may have twists and turns, but it teaches us to be still and lean into the experience
There is a message in all we encounter
Keep the door open so that you can invite the goodness in
No person or event can steal your thunder or promise to expand your skills or talents
When the soul rises to meet expectations, reach out to accept the vision
Show forgiveness and allow your spirit to forgive others
Thanksgiving is a time to share memories and honor our ancestors
Our ancestors made it possible for us to reach opportunities and explore options
Look around at nature and the wondrous things that life is revealing
The darkness will dissipate because you are in alignment with the light
Continue the journey
The strength is within each of us
Fortitude to navigate adversity with courage
There is much more to give, to learn, and to observe
Our minds are infinitely priceless
Give thanksgiving to self and others by sharing
They too have the strength to move forward
