This holiday week of Thanksgiving, has to be one of the best times of the year. To celebrate Thankfulness and Gratitude is something we should be doing daily, but it is this holiday that makes it happen!

It is a time that we make a special effort to see family and friends that we may not see very often. We actually stop to prepare a family meal and make an effort to share it together. We try harder to be present. We show up and see family members that may not be our favorite people, but we do it to respect our relationships.

What are you thankful for? Are you thankful for little things? We have to appreciate the little things, to gain insight into how to appreciate the big things.

We are surrounded by things we can be thankful for, if we choose to be. Today I want you to open your eyes and pay attention to what surrounds you. Look for something that you haven’t seen before. It may be something that you actually see every day, but never noticed the detail.

Just like the picture shows, there are plenty of “caterpillars” out there, but who pays attention to them before they turn into a butterfly? Transformation is an amazing thing; where we start out one way and evolve into something that has no resemblance to our prior self. We all have the capacity to change; to transform ourselves into a better person than we were the day before.

Each day this week we will share a thankful thought. If you have one you would like to share, please leave your thoughts here. We would love to hear them.

Let’s make this week our week of “Thanks.” “Now, let’s get going.”  xo Sally
