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.
@soulsings thanksgiving at the carehome, we all get together and the chefs prepare a huge turkey dinner, then before dinner we all thank God for all our blessings😁 it's always nice to hear the other residents laughing and talking ❤ it makes me feel part of something bigger. ❤
it's gonna be hard to keep my smile though tomorrow, over 3 and a half weeks in hospital 🙁 it's gonna feel extra lonely this thanksgiving🙁
@Tinywhisper11 that must be rough to miss your friends and care givers. Hope you have a Happy 7 Cups Thanksgiving.
@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 💜.
@adventurousBranch3786 thankyou ❤ I'm generally asleep by then ❤❤
@soulsings
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".
