I lived through many Thanksgiving gatherings. Some more pleasant than others. This year, as I am about to undertake this journey through the year, I felt the need to reflect and express what I’m really grateful for.
I am pleased that, despite moments that were difficult, and the number of days I hesitated, I continued to seek the happiness that I am able to see that many small things in life are really big gifts.
I am grateful to my friends, who share many of my interests and, more importantly, my view of life. Which drew my attention to the Eckhart Tolle book, "A New Earth", which was an answer to my prayers.
Recognizing that Mr. Tolle has written the book that changed my perspective on how to live life for the better. Which allowed me to see that face any difficulty - this too shall pass. For my friend who called me to watch this episode of Oprah that led to participate in the ten weeks of the series Oprah’s "A New Earth" next to Mr. Tolle webcasts.

I am also grateful for the generosity of Oprah to host the webcast free to thousands around the world. At the beginning of each show, when we all stopped, took a deep breath and share these moments together is magic. A global meditation, a silent prayer of unity, an inspiration of hope. I’m really happy that I chose and participate.
Some of the things I am grateful for are sometimes taken for granted. I wake up every morning, unharmed. I have been blessed with continued good health. I have a husband and two boys who love me, even then I was so discouraged and depressed over not finding a job. For many of my faults and love me despite the fact that I’m not Suzy the home they really love me.
I am grateful that we all are healthy and we share a beautiful house in a good neighborhood. Many people around the world can not say that, and I am grateful that I can, then hope that in future the evils of our planet can be healed.
Recognizing that Barack Obama won the election. I think my hope in the future would be dead if the result had been different. I am overwhelmed by this gift of hope.
I was very pleased to have re-connected with an old childhood friend of this year, who also shared my enthusiasm for the Obama campaign. I am so grateful that the friendship that developed when we were very young has never been lost, and was found.
Find a place where I can share my voice is something I am so grateful for. I’m really happy that I found Word free press gives us that opportunity. So I am also grateful for a particular player, I only know that Zuy, which has touched my very essence of a trial on the hope that caused my shell to crack so I could finally emerge and find my way. I will always be grateful to you.
I am grateful that the price of gas is much less now than it was a few months - and even a year ago. It is my trip to visit my parents and my brothers and sisters in another state more affordable.
Although I wish my husband and boys can go hand in hand with me on this journey, I am glad that I still have my parents and I can visit them. That we, my parents, my sisters and their families will be together this year. Living so far, it is difficult to see them as often as I would like, but I hope that the future will bring more events we are happy together.
And I am grateful to our Creator, who on this earth as the guardians so that we can enjoy all of His creation. All we need to do is open our eyes, our ears and our heart to all its wonders around us and enjoy them more.
My wish for you dear readers, you have a happy Thanksgiving Day. Whether you have a little more food than you need and you share many laughs with friends and family.
Blessings to each and every one of you and your families and friends.
