I like to take some time to just sit in my garden and thank my plants for giving me food, thank the sun and the rain to make them grow, thank all the bees and other insects who help in pollination, thanks the people who provided the seeds and seedlings for these plants. I also like to thank the universe for allowing me to live where I live now.

@Tinywhisper11. I’m sorry to hear this. I hope that they will make a special meal for you when you get back to the care home. We have a discussion in mindfulness at 5pm est (10pm your time I believe ). If you are still awake you are welcome to attend 💜.

Practicing gratitude and mindful eating. Eating mindfully can help us appreciate food more.

It might depend whether you are hosting Thanksgiving or not. I was thankful when I was invited 😃

It sounds a bit contrived to me to have to express what you are thankful for. Some people can get away with "Yeah! I'm good".

Just be thankful and appreciate all the good things I have, including but not limited to being able to be who I am, for being alive, for being as strong as I am and for having all the skills/talent and knowledge that I have. And of course for all the kind people I’ve become friends with whether it’s here or in person. 

But I appreciate and am thankful for all that and more all year long every year. Not only on Thanksgiving. 

I believe if you really appreciate whoever or whatever, it should always be appreciated, not just on one day or certain days.

  • I am learning to just keep silent and not react but it is not going well because I am internalizing my frustration and anger.
