Time to be thankful 💕

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
                                                                                                                          -Gilbert K. Chesterton

🌈🌈🌈

This week millions of people will stop and think for some hours about what they're thankful for. Others have taken their time to reflect some weeks ago- for example, during Yom Kippur and Sukkot, in the Jewish culture, or Sankt Martin and the Erntedankefest in Germany.

In fact, there is no particular time for thanking for everything we have; in Malaysia, people celebrate the Kadazan Festival in May to thank Bambaazon for facilitating life on Earth; the Indian Harvest festival Pongal, held in mid-January, pays homage to the ruler of clouds, Lord Indra, to the Sun God, and to the sacred animal, the cow, for everything they offer; and the Korean Chuseok Harvest Festival, which is all about respect and commemoration of elders and ancestral roots, takes place in late summer.





It seems that thanking - may it be a God or the Universe or your family or a good friend- is rooted in the human soul; it makes you feel better! Just stop and think of the good things you have in your life- and also of the bad things you've gone through and which have made you who you are today. 

So, may I ask? What are you thankful for this year?

    Loving this initiative! :heart:

    I'll go ahead myself:

    I'm thankful for this Community and for the team behind it. It's a true pleasure to work with these people every day. I always learn, laugh, improve and overall grow here. Having that opportunity every day is truly a privilege and a thing to be thankful for.

    Cheers,

  • Hi @Lola_Pop Thank you for tagging me 🤗 This a lovely thread! We have a similar one in Friends Saga started by our dear @Acv I have already said what I am thankful for on that thread so I will just copy it here 😉

    Gratefulness is a very important thing. I practice gratefulness on a daily basis so this list might be neverending: I am grateful for my health. I am grateful for all the toxic people who went through my life and taught me a lesson. I am grateful for all the people who are a blessing in my life. I am grateful for the eyes for letting me see the beauty of the people and nature. I am grateful for ears for letting me listen to the music and voices of dear people. I am grateful for all the opportunities I have missed as they were not meant for me, something bigger was waiting just around the corner. I am grateful for my hands for letting me feel the touch, for providing me endless hugs, for their eternal life energy I met through practicing reiki. I am grateful for my legs for being capable to carry the heaviness of my body, both physical and mental. I am grateful for self-awareness because it taught me that everything starts in myself. I am grateful for every sunrise and sunset. And I am grateful for the opportunity to express my gratefulness to all of you ❤️

    - Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough”
    - Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.

    Hello Lola_Pop

     I mentioned it in such a thing. Then I'll do it again:

     Thank you that you are my German consultant and help me, where I can not get on with my English translation. Or even for a quick question.

     Thank you for being there.

    Ditto to what @firebombmarkus wrote above.  We share a lot of similarities.  I am also thankful for my two wonderful adult children and my five beautiful grandchildren.  I am also very grateful that I am single, happily divorced, healthy, not wealthy but wise!  I know that's not a thankful, but it's a very happy.

    I am thankful that I found all of you here.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
