Gratitude

In today's paper is an article about the health benefits of gratitude. Today is a day when most Americans will pause and give thanks. To really reap the benefits of gratitude it must become a way of life. So, may this be the first day of many days in which we give thanks to God, family, friends and yes, even employers!

Since my dad came to live in Pensacola, we are blessed with visits from family members. All of us are going to the Thanksgiving Feast at church today at noon. I am thankful for my family and also for my church family. What an incredible bundle of love and support! So to each of you I say thanks for sharing this part of my journey with me. I am blessed to have so many people I can count on to do whatever needs to be done at the moment.

Do not spend this day alone. Come on out and spend some time with your church family today, and if you want to being your family then please do. There will be plenty of food and even left-overs to take home. Whatever you do today and no matter what your situation, find something for which you are grateful and your spirit will be lifted.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
