A Message For Thanksgiving

Below is a message I got today from a friend and fellow Life Coach, Gerri Helms. I liked it and I hope you do to. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

“Gratitude is an ACTION word, not simply an emotion or pleasant feeling which occurs when we receive a gift or favor another.  It is a  a state of being and an emotion; often accompanied by a desire to thank someone, or to reciprocate for a favor they have done for you. We often feel most grateful when that gift or favor is valuable to us, given from the heart and not just out of a sense of obligation.

 

Gratitude is contageous! Grateful people are more likely to extend gifts and favors to others. Although gratitude is something that anyone can experience, some people seem to feel grateful more often than others. People who tend to experience gratitude more frequently than others also tend to be happier, more helpful and forgiving, and less depressed than their less grateful counterparts

 

Notice that the word “FOOD” does not appear in the word “THANKSGIVING”. We do see the words “THANKS” and “GIVING” in there, however. This is the season of being grateful!
 

May I take this special season to thank you for your support and friendship. I am truly grateful for YOU! May you also feel grateful for family and friends in this season of Gratitude.”
