This Thanksgiving look around for something unique to be thankful for. I'm not saying you shouldn't be thankful for family and friends and music and food and that you have a roof over your head - there are thousands of people who aren't blessed with such things. But instead of the memorized list of things that we all spout off every Thanksgiving, this year try and be thankful for the things that truly special in YOUR life.
My sister recommended this activity to me. Go through the alphabet and say what you're thankful for at each letter. It makes you think. It shouldn't seem forced, it's a cathartic experience, and when you're done, you'll be amazed at all the small miracles in your life you have to be thankful for - things you almost feel silly admitting are that important to you, but nonetheless your life wouldn't be as blessed without...
[I'm willing to share my list with you, so here goes...]
A: asparagus
