Time to give thanks has just started

Thanksgiving is a tradition celebrated by many Americans giving thanks for what they have. Such a powerful day reminds us of what we have, and what were thankful for. But shouldn't we constantly be reminded to give thanks for what we have everyday?

Thanksgiving brings warmth and excitement to the table. There's food around the table as we give thanks for what we have, and we speak about many memories.

On this day we are reminded to be thankful for food, family and other important things in our lives. But we often ignore this during the summer time or spring, when we are not in the holiday season.

As we step into the Christmas holiday, and many others, we are reminded of thankful thoughts. As we give to charities, the holidays bring joy and excitement.

But as we step away I feel that many forget to be thankful and give thanks for the life they live.

So as we step off the white snow and go into the next season, the spring, always remember to be thankful for what you have, and to try to give back as much as possible.
