Being Grateful is a State of Mind, A way of Living Life with Grace.
We tend to focus on the Stress of a Day spent with our Families. Remember there are people who do not have anyone to spend this day or any other day with. Some of us have recently Lost a member of our family and it feels strange to be happy celebrating without them. Some families are Low on Money and so there is a dream of having a big meal to share. With that being said - Being Grateful is a state of Mind and a a Way of Life.

How so? The Stress of spending time with family members that are coming and going in different directions then us, have varying points of view , make us feel less then or uncomfortable is a challenge and a choice. If these situations really upset you then change them. It’s ok to say “I think we are having a quiet day to ourselves, we send all our love to the rest of the family” or put on a smile and be grateful it’s only 2-3 hours of your time spent with them.

The loss of someone special is a difficult process to feel and heal. Being Grateful can be an effort. Take a moment and reflect on your experiences together, remember them by sharing stories, let the tears and laughter flow as this is how we feel and heal. (Miss you Dad😘)

Being Grateful to have any food on the table, smiling faces to look at , jokes and stories to be told, games to be played, hugs to share is the point. I can remember a Thanksgiving when I was 19 and I spent it in my tiny studio apartment with a co-worker, her husband and their 3 year old daughter. They brought 2 delicious Mexican inspired dishes and I made a chicken (as turkey was out of my budget). Their family was in Mexico and mine was not around. We had the best time talking, sharing stories and getting to know one another. We were grateful to have the chance to be together and not alone.

Making this a Way of Life. Each day is a blessing and experiencing each day as such should be our job as this is what truly brings joy and meaning to our lives. Helping others is rewarding, just remember to allow others to do for you as well. This is how we experience true Grace. For some it’s not easy to allow others to help in anyway. This can make Life one sided just as those who are so use to having everything done for them need to step up and offer to aid others. There is a balance to be created. If we are always doing/giving then we are denying ourselves the experience of receiving and the opportunity for others to give and not always receive. Balance.

With that… I am sending many Blessings to you and yours.
With a grateful Heart and Mind I feel Blessed to have you as clients, customers, colleagues, friends & family. May all of us Live this Life in Balance… Happy Thanksgiving 🫶🏻💞🫶🏻

We Independent businesses are struggling, just as our clients and customers struggle. We pour our Hearts & Souls into what we do and what we offer for our communities. We do not have the luxury of paid holidays, sick days or supplemental income for times when no-one shops with us or cancels appointments. We still have to pay rent/mortgage, electricity, water, phone, taxes and salaries and that’s just the business side, this doesn’t cover our own personal bills.

So, this shopping season take time to chat with the vendors/artists/crafters when visiting shows, many of them have great stories & ideas to share. Stop in your local businesses and see what they have to offer, maybe even buy smaller things and create gift baskets, bags or boxes that contain items from several places. Helps out these individuals and makes your gifts very unique. Such as- coffee mug, tea or coffee, a comic book, or novel, pair of handmade mittens, box of homemade cookies, toss in a new keychain, lip balm and … you have spread a bit of joy to several local businesses and created a unique gift for your loved one.

Just a thought.

With a grateful Heart
Thanks for reading
Sending you and yours many Blessings
