Thanksgiving… the holiday of food. You have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and whip cream with a little bit of pumpkin pie. It’s all the goods to make a perfectly round “food baby”.

Thanksgiving… a time of being thankful. You gather around with friends, family, coworkers, and everyone who means the most to you. It’s a time to give thanks to those loved ones you have put up with your crazy little tush for as long as they have. It’s a time to be thankful for all they have done and will do.

Thanksgiving… a feeling of love. There’s something about being in a cozy home around all the people you care for. During this time of year, you can feel the love seeping from the walls of the department stores, sidewalks, and neighborhoods laying the groundwork for Christmas.

So with that said, let me pose a question. Why does it take until the holidays to eat good food, be thankful, and love on our favorite people? To me, every day is a chance to be thankful for all you have and all you will have. It shouldn’t take a holiday to remind us to love, laugh, and be appreciative for what life has to bring. So love on people, be happy, feel joy, and be thankful not only during Thanksgiving but all the time. You never know how much longer you have to be thankful.
