Living Thankful….

As we move into Thanksgiving week, I find that there is an overall positive atmosphere when we are focused on thankfulness. I experience it in the people I interact with. I read about it in the posts on Facebook. I find it in my interactions with strangers. There is just something in the air and it is wonderful!

I wonder how life would be different if we didn’t just see Thanksgiving as a holiday or season, but embraced it fully as a way of life….

I wonder how life would be different if we allowed thankfulness to lead our attitudes, thoughts and behaviors…

I wonder how life would be different if we defined necessity and lived generously in offering others kindness, relationship, heart and hope!

I hope that you will take time this week to consider what you will carry into your every day of 2012. I am working on defining my vision for 2012. This vision will include aspects of who I want to be(come) and what impact I want to have in my relationships and world. I know that I want to be a woman who lives with a thankful heart AND allows that thankfulness to shape my thoughts, attitudes and behaviors!
