Thanksgiving... What do you have to be thankful for?

This will be my only post this week due to the Holiday.

Every year Thanksgiving comes along and my experience has been people look at it as a day off and use it as an excuse to drink and party. Have we honestly forgotten what the holiday is all about? If you talk to children they will tell you all about the history of Thanksgiving. Adults will tell you what they remember and add their special spin on it.

So, this year please take a moment out of your celebration and ask yourself this simple question, "What do I have to be thankful for?" If you answer it with a laundry list of things you are on the right track. If you have to think about it, then you need to work on it. So, be thankful and have a special holiday and please remember all the Soldiers around the world who cannot be with their families on this holiday.

For those who struggle with what you are thankful for I have listed a few of my own to help you out.
I am thankful for:
My family
My health
My friends
My freedom


Happy Thanksgiving!
