I encourage you to sit down and write out some things you are thankful for as well. You’ll be surprised with the plethora of things you’re able to think of, either right away, or with a little time. It gets you in the right mindset for Thanksgiving, but it also reminds you of all the things you have. I think we sometimes get caught up in the things we don’t have or the things we wish we had. It’s nice to focus on what you do have.
