Happy Thanksgiving Poem
 
I’m Thankful for You

Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.

Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! I thought this poem fitting for those of us who have struggled and are struggling with the addict(s) in our lives. Hopefully this poem will inspire all of us to acknowledge the joys and blessings that ARE in our lives and for just one day let us focus on the things that bring us love and happiness. God Bless You All:)
