Celebrating Abundance at Thanksgiving

Canada celebrates Thanksgiving earlier than the United States. Harvest is early in Canada given the Winter. So, this weekend is Thanksgiving weekend.

What do we really celebrate on Thanksgiving? I don't think we remember much the friendship of the natives who welcomed the first settlers to this land. Most of us have no experience of that. So, for us, what really is the true meaning of Thanksgiving?

Well, relax, breathe, open your arms fully to the world. Take in its abundance. Feel your unending breath, the rhythm of your ever pulsating heart, the beautiful scenes your eyes enjoy, the heavenly music your ears enjoy, and the magnificent taste your palate savours. This is only the start as you know. There are more there to be amused by, to be fond of, to be exhilarated with.

There is much more. We are in abundance. This is what Nature shows us. It keeps growing and giving when cared for, appreciated and cherished. So, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
