It’s the beginning of November, and the prelude to one of my
favorite holidays, Thanksgiving. However, unless you live under a rock, it’s getting
tough to be thankful in a world crammed full of negativity. But it doesn’t have
to be that way!
Thankfulness is more than a one-day-a-year-holiday. It’s
more than sending ‘good thoughts’ and ‘happiness vibes’. Being thankful is a
choice. It’s opting out of the negativity and refocusing our thoughts on the
good things in life, the things that we hold most dear…God, family and friends.
But if you’ve been feeling a lack of thanksgiving in your
life, don’t despair! It’s easy to get it back. To help you out here is my list
