A Time For Gratitude


    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates this holiday.  I think it is always good to give thanks. It is not a holiday in my homeland, Jamaica, but I take time out to give thanks for my relatives and friends, the wonderful persons I have met online, the strides I have made in my writing and blogging this year, the strength and courage I have had in facing health challenges and the departed loved ones who have left me with with special memories.  In that mode I share one of my favourite quotations- "Gratitude is the best attitude."
                


   What are you most thankful for this year?  How are you celebrating Thanksgiving 2013?

What a lovely post on gratitude.

I am most thankful for my family. I think family is by far the most special people in our lives. They always come first.

Hubby and I do all the cooking for Thanksgiving. We've spent today prepping for tomorrow. The turkey is ready for the oven. The dressing is made and ready for the oven. The pies are baked. Tomorrow it's just getting everything together and then...enjoying our family.

Have a fabulous day Judy. ♥♥♥

Although here we do not celebrate this holiday, I think it's a very meaningful one.
But you know every day(!) when we wake up in the morning the 1st thing we do is to say a special thank you to G-od

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

You are so right Winnie! Every day is a gift from God. We do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Jamaica but I think it is a great idea to have such a holiday. Have a wonderful Thursday.

Happy Thanksgiving my friend! I am so thankful for your friendship also. You are such a thoughtful talented person & we have much in common. I to collect many things like you, but some day I'll tell you a sad story about that, but today is not a day for sad stories. Hubby & I celebrated alone today and cooked together a very tasty spiral ham & we watched an old tape the I did when we first moved into our home, and remodeled it. It was so fun 12 yrs. ago today. We got our humble abode. It was great just him and I. All the kids married and on their own. Ahhhhhhh Now they bring the grandkids and we spoil them and send them home. bwahahahahahaha SO WHAT'S FOR DESSERT? hehehehe HUGS, MARIE

XmasDolly said...

Sorry I forgot to say that our family Thanksgiving with Turkey is Saturday when all my babies... well half my babies will be here. My youngest lives in Missouri and won't be here, and youngest son is out of town too. Oh well. Have a great evening. I'll have that slice of pumpkin pie now! hehehehe

Unknown said...

We sent the day at my aunt's house with cousins, kids, and grandparents. Then we went downtown to see the lighting of the area. They had a free concert after that.

Cathy Kennedy said...

I have much to be thankful for, but my most thankful is my improved health this year. God really watched over me during a rough period this spring/summer. As for celebrating Thanksgiving, we do like many American families prepare a huge fest and gather together in the loving warmth of our family - a very big reason to be thankful. Thanks for being my friend and for your frequent visits!

Unknown said...

I am glad that you and your family had an enjoyable Thanksgiving Alissa!

Unknown said...

I am happy that your health has improved Cathy and I hope you continue to feel better. I am also happy that we met through blogging and wish you all the very best.

This was such a sweet post. I am trying to be more intentional with being thankful. Now focusing on this Advent season and focusing on the One who has come. So do not want to miss the true reason we celebrate. I visited from Make My Saturday Sweet this morning.
Blessings,
Joanne

With our financial situation: I'm most thankful for healthy bodies, roof over our heads and food on the table.

Happy Weekend Judy.
