Thanksgiving is one of the two most important holidays every year, for making us better people.
Although much of what Thanksgiving was is lost in through the years... we get to stop for a second and think of what we are truly thankful for.
The other Holiday that helps us with this is New Years... we actually make a resolution to better ourselves in some way.
New Years is more about doing then Thanksgiving which is more about reflecting.
So while your reflecting on what you have this year and how thankful you are for it... why not get started on planning on some real New Years resolutions. By real I mean, realistic I guess... So many lose sight of their resolutions because they are aiming too high.
Start small and make a resolution that you can accomplish within 3 months, and then add on to it in the next 3 months. So, in half a year we get real results that help push us in the right direction.
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy your family and friends and I hope some smiles today.
I have decided to follow your advice about realistic New Year Resolutions. I've been trying to give up smoking since January 1st 2010 - that was this year's resolution. But I did not stick to it. As from January 1st 2011, I'm going to cut down gradually aiming at giving it up completely by my birthday in April. I guess this sounds more realistic. Thanks for a great post!
