			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanksgiving day comes about once in a year.  For most of us its all about the food, dressing up, seeing our extended families.  Even when we sit at the table with hands clasped together, sharing our thoughts on what we are thankful for, how much of that gratitude truly hits home?</p>
<p>Can we take a moment and turn the gratitude giving around so it faces inward instead of some place outside of ourselves?  Yes we can talk of being grateful for something within ourselves without ego or boastfulness. Let&#8217;s give it a try.</p>
<p>What are you grateful for?</p>
<ul>
<li>Consciousness &#8211; That I can be here and make the choice to appreciate, or not, and that by making a statement outside of what might be expected or allowed we may argue, but we can also appreciate our ability to think and feel and expand our consciousness.</li>
<li>Taste &#8211; Yes this is one of the basic senses that comes as standard equipment.  We don&#8217;t often think about it, how grateful we are to have taste, and smell, and the many other senses.  Senses, sensational, sensual &#8211; We are here to experience life in so many ways!</li>
<li>Connectivity &#8211; Why do we create occasions?  Is it really just a marketing ploy that guilt&#8217;s us into buying cards or presents?  We can turn our nose up to the commercial emphasis, or we can appreciate that we have the means and the opportunity to spend time together, and maybe even find value in seeing those people who at times we do not appreciate.</li>
<li> Sharing &#8211; Giving doesn&#8217;t have to be depleting.  When we focus on giving thanks for those around us its good to remember that we are celebrating what they give to us, and on this one day we can even step out of our typical roles and think of one time that someone gave their time, or attention, or support.</li>
</ul>
<p>Happy Thanks Giving</p>
<p>Giving thanks does not need to be confined to only a handful of days.  We have so much to be grateful for, and expand our consciousness as we turn our attention toward our purpose.
