It’s that time of the year again – and festivities are in the air. Over the years, I’ve discovered that Thanksgiving holds different meanings for different people. For my husband, it means sinking into his favorite bean bag in front of the television and watching football on a more-than-full stomach. For my kids, it’s about a holiday from studies, lots of good food (especially pumpkin cheesecake) and this year it also means the Penguins of Madagascar movie, which they’ve been so crazy about since ages that my husband had to give in and promise to take them over to the theaters this weekend.
As a kid, I remember playing the A to Z family gratitude game on Thanksgiving Day at home. Everyone in the family (ours was a pretty large one) used to sit together in the living room. Then, each person took a turn to say out loud what he was grateful for, depending on whichever letter of the alphabet the player was up to.
This Thanksgiving, I’ve made a resolution for myself. I’m going to make myself a gratitude journal which I’ll keep with me till next Thanksgiving, noting down the loads of things and people I am thankful for and who mean a lot to me. As they say, “Be grateful for small things, big things and everything in between. Count your blessings, name them one by one…”
Happy Thanksgiving! :)
