I Am Thankful…
I Am Thankful…
Nov 24th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: Coach Nancy - The Way I See It...
As far as holidays go, Thanksgiving is possibly my very favorite. I like it because it places focus on family and being thankful and that’s it. No gift giving needed other than making a great dinner or just making a pie or bringing some wine. Just enjoyment.
This year I’m thankful for my health. The saying “when you’ve got your health, you’ve got everything” is so true. And over the last year, I’ve worked hard to be healthy. I’ve workout consistently week in and week out. I’ve eaten properly and even made sure I’ve gotten sufficient sleep. All of these actions were (and continue to be) important contributions I make to my own health but even with all of that, I know that sometimes the most health conscious of us can be afflicted.
I’m also thankful for my family’s health. Just over a year ago, my immediate family made a huge lifestyle change. It wasn’t just me. But again, we’ve been blessed because all the things we cannot control have been favorable to us. My extended family is doing well and with all of that, how could I not count my blessings?
I find it interesting that just as we conclude our day of giving thanks, we turn towards Christmas with shopping seeming to be the order of the day! Black Friday, Cyber Monday, it’s all fine because we like to give gifts to those we love. But let us not forget too quickly our day of thanks.
I wish you all the very best of Thanksgiving – tomorrow and every day!
