Giving Thanks
Here in the US, it’s just about Thanksgiving Day. I don’t know about you, but for years I thought it was all about watching the parades, Mom cooking huge meals (that included getting the good china and linen out) and eating. The smells always sent a message of comfort, not to mention the fact that Mom makes a mean dressing.
While those days are past, I’ve looked for other ways to celebrate. Hence…Giving Thanks. How often do we stop to tell the people in our lives how thankful we are that they are here? Some of you may do a great job with that…most however, do not. As a society, we seem to have lost some basics…like please and thank you.
So…let’s spend this week (or longer), Giving Thanks to those who have made a difference in our lives, our society, our world.
To all the women who have come before and have paved the way for us to age the “Baby Boomer Way”….thanks. To all of you reading, thanks for taking your time out to read these words and for helping to shape OlderWiserWomen. And to Mom…thanks for the memories.
Namaste.
