Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 22, and rapidly approaching. What is it we are thankful for? At our house, we have a tradition of asking each person at the table to tell what they are thankful for. Usually, the number one expression of thanks is for family and friends. We are grateful to have people in life who share our moments of grief and happiness, losses and triumphs, sadness and joy. We are thankful for those people who lend us support by listening to our problems, offering a word of advice or encouragement, doing things for us that no one else would either think of or do. We are thankful that people care about us and help us, and, in turn, in gratitude we offer our care and help. This, I believe, is the number one reason, on a personal level, for thanksgiving.
