Pause to Give Thanks

I know that I can be a creature of habit and holidays are times when those habits (traditions) tend to surface.  For years we have used our family gathering on Thanksgiving to ask the question -“What are you thankful for.”  We have done it for as long as I can remember, in fact one of my son-in-laws will often jokingly say at all family gatherings: “Are we going to say what we are thankful for?” The truth is I do have a lot to be thankful for and I hope that I am willing and ready to express it today and everyday.  I hope today is a day to reflect on what you are thankful for and why not share that with someone else.
