'The Only Appropriate Response is Gratefulness'

I've often said that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the idea of taking a day to recognize and celebrate everything we are grateful for in our lives.

But of course that feeling of gratitude and blessing shouldn't just happen today, and we shouldn't just be ticking off a list of things we are grateful for. For gratitude to have real meaning it must be something you feel at a deep elemental level. In the busyness of our day-to-day lives, we can forget what an incredible gift each of those days is.

That's why I want to share this video with you today. It's a very simple yet powerful message. I hope that, amid all the bustle of the holiday, you find a few quiet moments to reflect on this profound meditation on gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
