Thanksgiving

I am grateful for

Thanksgiving is not a tradition in Australia, it is not a holiday we celebrate as a whole, even though I am sure there are families out there that do. However I do believe that in the territory of Norfolk Island here in Australia they do recognise it.

I had an American Supervisor when I was a puppy raiser, she celebrated Thanksgiving and invited us all to celebrate with her each year which I really enjoyed.

For me I tend not to celebrate or recognise certain things on an official date, but more so regularly when I feel it is important or I feel the need to. Like Valentine's Day. I myself prefer to regularly show and remind my husband that I love him, appreciate him etc rather than on a date determined on the calendar and when it becomes a hugely overpriced money earner.

I am grateful for so many things every day, not just on a particular date. Ask me at any time what I am grateful for and I can give you a lengthy list. I silently give thanks, to no one in particular, for all the gifts and blessings bestowed upon me on a daily basis. It is a private thanks, that needs to be shared with no other, but I like to acknowledge it for myself.

At this particular time: Wed 5th Nov 11.40am

I am grateful for my life. I could bore you all with the lengthy list of things in my life that makes it just that: my life, but I won't. I have, and am living a life that I am very grateful for and all that it encompasses.
