Family. Friends. Our pets. Our home. Our phone?!?!?!
We all know the usual Thanksgiving suspects and the stuff we are all thankful for. This year, add one thing to the list. It's the most unappreciated and overlooked thing in your life.
This Thanksgiving, give thanks for you.
That's right. Give thanks for you. It's not selfish or arrogant. It's healthy and much deserved.
Maybe you are thankful that you've been at your current job longer than any other. You're doing something right.
Be thankful that your hands can knit, or play piano, or whatever amazing thing your hands can do.
Be thankful that your knees allow you to run or bike or get on the floor to play with your kids. Or better yet, that they allow you to get up off the floor.
Be thankful that there are people in your life who enjoy your company and appreciate having you around. That's a testament to your personality and how you treat others.
Be thankful that you can still fit into your favorite shirt you got 15 years ago. You worked hard to keep that shape.
Be thankful for all the little things you do throughout the day to keep going. Those things don't just happen. You make it happen. Take the credit for it.
Be nice to yourself. Be good to yourself. Give thanks for you.
As for me, I'm thankful for everybody who read this far :)
Happy Thanksgiving.
