Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We are all rubbing our bellies wishing that we hadn’t gone back for another piece of pie, or perhaps you are wondering why the white bun always seems like such a good idea. Tums should be passed around with the coffee. Thanksgiving is really about be thankful for the bountiful harvest. Most of us are not working the fields to produce a harvest, but we all have reasons to be thankful. Family, friends, food and new shoes are always great places to start. But, if you dig deeper what would you be most thankful for? I had dinner with a friend and he spoke of his cancer like a gift. It was a cleansing in his life. Sometimes the greatest hardships bring the greatest gifts, and those gifts we can be most thankful for. Happy gobble gobble...
TED Talks Stacey Kramer offers a moving, personal, 3-minute parable that shows how an unwanted experience -- frightening, traumatic, costly -- can turn out to be a priceless gift.
