GIVING THANKS
Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. However, not everyone sees that day as a cause for celebration. Some in the US Native American community feel the mythology of this celebration ignores the destruction of indigenous cultures that followed European settlement.
Thought Adjuster: “Because of the complexity of human affairs, some view their metaphoric glass as half full while others consider it half empty. We all have many reasons to be grateful but often someone’s good fortune is another’s misfortune due to the planetary diversity of allegiances and life paths.
On Thanksgiving Day, the words ‘giving thanks’ cross many lips, amplifying the collective voice. If spoken with heartfelt conviction, words have a vital force encrypted with the essence of what they ‘express.’
People ‘wish’ one another a ‘happy Thanksgiving’—two positive manifestation processes bundled into one. Over the years, the scope of the initial Thanksgiving Day has been widely—and rightfully so—expanded.
Giving thanks should be a happy way of life. It unleashes the positive power of gratitude and catalyzes a critical mass in your life, raising its vibrations and consequently those of your environment. You contribute to the momentum of an irrepressible tidal wave of gratitude and the associated spiritual highs this world direly needs.
Identifying the abundance of your blessings will naturally lead you to wish to spread them around.”
