Put thankful in Thanksgiving

by Kenyon Bennett

Do we put the Thankful in Thanksgiving?

We can if we start by using the time to rejuvenate ourselves and count our blessings.  By doing that we can reduce our stress level and be aware of the good things that happen around us.

We can be thankful we have a roof over our head and a floor beneath our feet.  Some people do not have this and homelessness is a major problem in our society.  Be thankful we have a place to live whether it is a cabin or a mansion.

We can be thankful for friends and family as they are what gives true meaning to our lives.  They are our rocks.

We can be thankful we can take a breath and start our day.  We are all in various stages of life and health but we are here and we need to be thankful for that.

We need to be thankful for ourselves.  You have put a lot into your life.   You deserve to not only enjoy it but to feel grateful for everything you’ve done to make it happen.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Dodgeville Chronicle, Democrat Tribune and Pec Valley Leader.
