I have no grammar lessons today, no hype about my book (although you should really grab a copy), and no other writing- or editing-related topics. I simply want to take this moment to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from our family at Edit This® to yours.
We truly have so much to be thankful for, and I hope each of you takes at least a little time over the next day or so to express that gratitude.
In fact, I want to challenge you to grab a notepad and pen and do it right now!
That's right – write down a list of everything you are thankful for, whether related to work, life, family, health, or something else. Remind yourself of these blessings!
Then, share that list with your loved ones! You'll be surprised how long your list gets.
What Am I Thankful For?
My family
My kids (I am so blessed to be a dad)
My wife
Having my parents here for the holidays and beyond
The health of my entire family
My career – I'm blessed to be a writer
That I can use my God-given talents to provide for my family
The people who came into my life this year
The love and support from my family
God, who has blessed me with so much
Everything new I've learned this year
Pain and the lessons we all learn from it
That my wife, Leslie, is doing what she enjoys at work
That I have unconditional love in my life
That we live in a free country
Random bursts of inspiration
Spellcheck :)
That more people in this world are preaching forgiveness
More time to spend with my family
A lifetime of memories
It's not easy to focus on things we should be thankful for. Life isn't easy – we go through so much every day and every year, and sometimes, it can feel like we are constantly stuck in neutral. But I genuinely believe that there is always something to be thankful for.
What are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
