Canadians love Thanksgiving. The combination of crisp fall air, cozy layers, bonfires, stuffing, hot toddies, and loved ones is like a drug that we anxiously wait to inhale all year. It is kinda like Christmas but without the presents and that absence of presents is precisely what makes Thanksgiving magic. The gift of Thanksgiving is GRATITUDE. If you don't practice gratitude daily, start today. Be grateful for your full belly and your warm heart. Your family and your health. Be grateful for the roof over your head and the strength of your spirit. There are days when life will be overwhelming and other days when you are just too sad to let anyone in - these are the days it seems the most daunting and futile to practice gratitude but these are the days you MUST. Gratitude leads to feelings of love and appreciation which further open our hearts and help rewire our brains to fire in more positive ways. Like a yawn or a sneeze, happiness is contagious, so if gratitude breeds happiness ... it's simple math really. There is always something to be grateful for. Live it out.
