Thanksgiving: A time to reflect on the year

Thanksgiving is a great time to think of all the things we are grateful for in life. In our daily routine, we rarely get a chance to stop and think about how good we have it. We find things, people and events to complain about. It's amazing how naturally the 'complaining' comes to us. We even join other people when they are complaining and try to find 'wrong' everywhere.

That's why one of the tradition I am building in my family is finding 'things to be thankful for'. Before the Thanksgiving meal everyone says at least one thing he/she is thankful for, and you can't say the same thing that another person said. It becomes a fun game, a great way to start Thanksgiving and a way to start celebrating what we have.
