Because of all the preparation involved, during the Thanksgiving season we focus on the foods and the menus that need to be prepared. We focus on the house that needs to be cleaned or repaired. Our attention goes to the travel that may need to be scheduled or who’s going where, and of course we focus on those near and dear who we will get to spend time with or miss.
Most of us ponder the true heartfelt message behind the holiday, which is the coming together with friends and loved ones in a harmonious manner while giving thanks for all our blessings – whether they are material, spiritual, mental or physical. Too often we focus on the negativity surrounding us. We focus on the negativity because it makes us uncomfortable, like a nasty toothache. We dwell upon it and think about it constantly, trying to find a solution. What we often don’t realize is that thoughts are things. Thoughts can direct our reality. That being said, do you really want to focus on the negativity – or the toothache?
