Thanksgiving is a time of reflection. It’s a time to stop and think about all the wonderful gifts we’ve been given throughout the year. After losing my father last year, I had a difficult time this year looking forward to the holidays. However, after examining what I enjoy most about the holidays, I was able to recall some of the greatest lessons he taught me. It’s often easy to look at what we don’t have but looking at what we still have can often escape our thoughts. While it is certain that I miss my father and always will, I am grateful for the legacy he has left for me and my children.
Reflect on what you are grateful for most this year.
