I want to start by saying happy Thanksgiving and safe travels anyone reading this on Thanksgiving day, and I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving for those who are reading it later.
This month my wife tried a new technique, really a new angle on a technique that we learned a long time ago. Every day she posted something she was thankful for on Facebook, something that she could share with all of her friends. Being thankful for what you have is strangely one of the keys to getting more and living a better life. I can't tell you why it works, but it does. At least no one has ever said it doesn't.
Maybe this is why most religions have you give thanks at meals or before going to bed. It simply works. Personally I try to think of the things that I am thankful for each day before I start my day. Sitting on the deck getting ready to write or walking the dogs in the forest, is a great way for me to give thanks and let the appreciation really set in.
Jeff Walker posted an interesting angle in his blog this morning, he suggested that we each say out loud what we are thankful for today. I think this is a great idea since it lets everyone around us hear what we are thankful for, and helps them to gain a better appreciation of what today is all about. So why not give it a try.
Happy Thanksgiving
