[Spirit100]

Be thankful, and mindful for what you do have: it could be as simple as another day, a meal, phone call to a loved one, a shift in perspective for the better.

I've been unemployed, worried about my car being repossessed, losing my home, and concerned about that next tank of gas. I know the fear, worry, anger, depression, and anxiety that comes with lives struggles. In some way shape or form most of us can relate to fear driven conditions.

I tell you that, to tell you this. It has been those times in my life when iron sharpens iron that I've grown more, lived more, felt more connected mindful and thankful than ever before. Put one foot in front of the other and move forward, have faith, believe ( work ethic and discipline are key ) and know there are others who are on your path and have been there before. You are never alone.

So whether a big feast with a lot of folks or government cheese and crackers by yourself be thankful.

The choice is yours.
