On Being Thankful
For Beautiful Things.
Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to stop in the tracks of our busy lives and take notice of the world happening around us. Too often, we get caught up in the infinite lists of things to get done / people to see / jobs to complete / children to care for that we forget to laugh / reflect / breathe / listen. And yet, here we are, one month before we make empty vows, year after year, to pay attention to the lives passing us by, with a weekend specifically devoted to recalling our thankfulness for friends, family, turkeys and tofurkys because even we deserve a forced moment to listen to the music we never hear, admire the photos we never saw, and reunite with old friends whose facebook statuses we no longer admire. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours; see you next week. Enjoy!
