This week families will be traveling so that they can be with extended family members to celebrate Thanksgiving. Families will share memories of loved ones who are no longer on this earth and remember the blessings they gave while they were with us. Families will also make new memories with family members and carry on the traditions that were passed down through the generations.
For other individuals, holidays are a time of sadness and isolation. Their family members are dispersed across the states and it is too far to travel to be with them. Some individuals are newly divorced and experiencing the pain of discarding old traditions and attempting to make new ones. Unfortunately, there is also the senior citizen who is left alone due to neglect or loss of loved ones.
During this holiday season try to reflect on the blessings you have received this year and extend a hand to someone that may be alone this Thanksgiving. It is a gift that can never have a price tag. The only cost is sharing a little of your time.
Happy Thanksgiving
Gina
