And when you say it on Thanksgiving, see if you can bring it to your life on a daily basis. When things are not going the way you would like it to go, say thank you! When the job is stressful, say thank you! When your partner complains,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say thank you! When the phone doesn’t ring, say thank you! Truly appreciate your journey and everything that it brings to you. It may sound artificial and even ludicrous right now (how can I say thank you even in the midst of pain?), but when you understand that you are right now exactly where you are supposed to be, that every experience is presented to you for a specific purpose, there is nothing else to say, but thank you.
I share this story with you, because I want you to think about giving thanks. When comes Thanksgiving Day, when you are with your friends and family, take the opportunity to truly say Thank You! Look around, look at your life today, look at who you are, look at the people that are present in your life -- even if they are just a few and as imperfect as they are. Say Thank You! Truly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! You will see how transformative just this thought can be.
Forgive me if I take this time to share a personal story.
Thanksgiving holiday was not part of my upbringing. As I was growing up, I heard about Thanksgiving through movies, books and the news, but I only came to experience this feast when I was already 25 years old. And you know, you can read, you can see it on TV, you can hear other people say, but nothing is more relevant than truly experiencing something. During my first couple of years here in this country, it was interesting and touching to me to think that Americans had reserved a whole day -- and practically a whole weekend -- to stop their crazy and hectic lives to say thank you.
Far away from my blood family, through the years I built my own American family with the people that became so very dear to me. And one of our most sweet traditions has always been our Thanksgiving Day. Every year we gather at each other’s houses, each one of us brings our special dish, we decorate our table, we put out our best silverware and most important we enjoy each other’s company. At the time of our dinner, we sit around the table and we say thanks. But this is not just a simple prayer or a simple “have to” sentence. We spend almost the entire time we are eating -- among an endless amount of jokes and teasing -- pouring out the stories that made our year. We tell about the important moments, the achievements, the struggles. We go around the table and everyone has an opportunity to speak and truly say thanks. It becomes a kind of inventory of our year, of our lives and we do it in front of each other. Bragging,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], being humble, crying, laughing, being proud of each other, being thankful. And the most amazing thing is that no matter what wonderful achievement we have done during the year, our most heartfelt thank you is to each other and the fact that each one sitting at that table is part of and a witness to our lives.
