If the only prayer you ever said in your life was,
"Thank you," that would suffice.
~ Meister Eckhart

A lot of people are doing 30 days of gratitude or 365 days of gratitude. November and Thanksgiving are times of gratitude, I guess. It's good to be thankful. Why people put a day limit on gratitude is odd to me. It seems like we should be consciously and intentionally grateful every day. Multiple times ever day.
I love Thanksgiving because of the gratitudinal foundation. I'm not sure gratitudinal is a word, but I would really appreciate it if it was. Anyway, I think it's good to be thankful.
I'm thankful for way more things than I can list. I am thankful for farmers and corn and food - things important during Thanksgiving and the harvest celebrations. I am thankful for family and friends. I am thankful for a sense of humor - which is the only thing that has gotten me through some of the more difficult times. I am thankful for love and creativity and harmony and the moments of Zen I think I might have accidentally experienced.
And I'm thankful that we won't be eating seed corn this holiday.
