In several parts of the world, today is celebrated as a day of thanksgiving.  Whether or not this is a day of celebration where you live, I invite you to celebrate your blessings.

As children we used to sing a grace that said,

“For health and strength and daily food we praise thy name oh Lord.”

For those of us who are older these blessings remain as important as they did when we were young.  Looking at our blessings helps us to focus on what we have, rather than what we might be missing.

Yes, I am thankful for my health, my strength and my nourishment.  I am also thankful for my wonderful relationships and for age-esteemers like you who visit my blog.

Have a happy day of thanksgiving.

• Focus on what you have to be thankful for.
• Smile and state out loud what these blessings are.
• Let the people in your life for whom you are thankful know that you are thankful for them.

You are a blessing in my life,

Bonnie Fatio
