So, what’s in a word?
We are told the first Thanksgiving was a moment of gratitude by the Pilgrims to the Native Americans who helped them survive that harsh first winter. Of course the payback was to inflict all the plagues of ‘civilization’ – disease, greed and usurping land…
Although counterintuitive, it is not unusual for us to be intimidated and feel resentful towards those who help us.
Remember the James Taylor song:
“Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel…”
Who are you thankful to and how do you show it?

There are so many things I am thankful for. I try to let people know how much I appreciate it when they help me, but sometimes, it can be hard to be thankful, and I always wondered why. But it's always worth it!
ReplyDeleteThaksgiving reminds me of my family and friends. It is a good holiday, food and no stress. Not usually.

this thanksgiving i'd like to completely "dive"into the real american spirit and show a person in particular "the way that I feel"!
