Greetings, It's going to be Thanksgiving soon, here in the USA. Personally, I have plenty for which I am very thankful. I have been contending with a lot of personal health issues, some serious stuff that has made me see gratitude. Yes, I am truly blessed. I have to watch my judgements, though, because it makes me fleetingly intolerant of others who become upset over what I instantly assume is much less vital ("That's not as bad as what I'M going through!"). I need to remember that we are all important, and each burden, however perceived, is heavy and should not be carried alone. Instead of judging, I am trying to remember to pray. I am not speaking religiously, but rather, spiritually. Everybody believes differently, everybody struggles differently, but one thing we ALL have in common is prayer. All religions have a form of prayer, and every person, at one time or other, for whatever reason, will cry out in desperation or gratitude. So, I've had an epiphany: that's why we are all here... My prayer for you is that, when you have an opportunity to turn to your Higher Power, Your God/ess of Your Understanding, that your words are those of Thanksgiving, wherever you are on this Earth. If, however, you are seeking light, I know that you are definitely heard, and you are not alone. This I know, because we will be praying to the same Spirit, by whatever name. Happy Thanksgiving! "Kindness is my religion." --His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama :)
