HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Sometimes life is like riding an escalator.  If it works, it’s an easy way to go up and down.  If the escalator is out of order, you either have to take an elevator that stops on every floor—or hoof it.  If you want to go up, you have to make the climb, and that can be tough, but even if you are out of breath, chances are that you are grateful when you finally reach your goal.

Being thankful is not just for Thanksgiving.  Having an attitude of gratitude can be challenging, and it’s too easy to get caught up in a net of negativity— especially in these times. However, Mark Twain suggests, “Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them, the rest of us could not succeed.”

If you can’t think of something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.  Here are a few suggestions that I came up with.  Maybe you can think of a few more:

 Be thankful for your cat who stares at you, but who never gives unsolicited advice.

2.    Be thankful for friends who take eating as seriously as you do.

3.    Be thankful that no one is  Stuffin a Puffin.

4.    If you like vegetables to balance your diet, be grateful for Pumpkin Pie.

As Reba McEntire reminds us:  “To succeed in life you need three things—-a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.

I am so grateful for all of you.   Hugs, from   Esthe
