I'm thankful for you!
In the US, today is Thanksgiving Day. It’s a national holiday, a harvest festival of sorts. For a long time, Thanksgiving involved a colonialist pilgrims-and-Indians narrative that has thankfully become less prevalent in recent years. Instead, the theme has now turned toward gratitude, which I think is much more appropriate.
This is a busy day here, so this will be a short post. One of the things I like to do at Thanksgiving is reflect on the things I’m grateful for.
One of the things I’m grateful for is you.
Thank you for reading my ramblings, for commenting and emailing me, for reflecting and interacting.
In this increasingly fragmented and disconnected world, it means a lot to me to be able to connect with you. I appreciate you.
Wherever you are, whatever today is for you, I wish you an abundance of blessings.
Together we are joy.
Blessings to you. xx
Hi Laura,
my uu minister told me that the pilgrims and the Indians Thanksgiving is a total myth. She said that Lincoln initiated a Thanksgiving Day after the Civil War. It's news to me but who knows. And yes whatever day it is we should be grateful.
