Thanksgiving is upon us and at a very difficult time when the world around us is at war of one kind or another. Gratitude can start simply and grow. Focus on your breath and let yourself be grateful for that breath. Feel your body and be grateful for that. Think of someone or something you love and be grateful for that. Let your gratitude grow and fill you. We cannot wait for the world to right itself before we choose gratitude. We must choose it now and hold it in our hearts. Gratitude is the food that lets the heart grow. May you fill with thanksgiving and all of its blessings.
