Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and today I wrap up my shorts all about gratitude. First, as Thanksgiving approaches I always tend to think about my parents and the amazing foundation they laid for myself and my siblings so we could lead happy and productive lives.
As I spent the last couple weeks really focusing on gratitude I noticed that my awareness of all the great things in my life grew and the little annoyances started to disappear. That became crystal clear to me on the day of this recording when I walked into a hamburger joint before heading to the studio. My food was taking forever and I was running late and just as I started to feel agitated I noticed a young man in a wheelchair being fed by his mother.
Instantly, I was transported into gratitude for all that I have as I watched this young man and his mother intensely focus on his eating and nothing else. The awareness I had in that moment allowed me to see the beauty in his mother’s care and the blessings that I have in my life which are endless.
So enjoy your Thanksgiving and spend some time appreciating what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t.
