SITSGirls Featured Blogger: WooHoo! My Special SITS Day!
SITS Featured Blogger: Ten Tips – How to Show Our Gratitude before Eating Thanksgiving Dinner This Year
“Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear at least for one night. Everyone should be able to eat to his/her fill at least for one day. There should be at least one day when hospitals should see no one admitted due to violence. In doing selfless service, for at least one day, everyone should help the poor and needy. It’s my prayer that at least this small dream be realized.” Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

My SITSGirls Featured Post: Ten Tips on How to Show/Share Our Gratitude before Sitting Down for Dinner this Thanksgiving Season.
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” Meister Eckhart
Thanksgiving: A Table Setting before the Meal… may all be nourished.
Thanksgiving: A partial Family collage; my family (my twins & Rich), our cat, my sister
Even as many of us celebrate with spectacular feasts and a joyful heart, Thanksgiving can be a depressing time for some people… While this is a great occasion to celebrate, we must take time to pause, reflect and take stock as we rush around preparing ourselves for the holiday season.
The Thanksgiving Dinner, which is a uniquely American tradition celebrated here and in a few other nations, offers a fantastic opportunity for us to count our blessings whilst sharing a wonderful feast with our friends and family. Often, in our rush to get the perfect chinaware, table settings, stuffed turkey and desserts for our guests, we forget to stop and say a prayer or give thanks for others; folks who have limited resources or going through hard times, and friends who have quietly or overtly helped us throughout the year.
The following ten tips should help us ease our way to the Thanksgiving dinner table while remembering to honor and be truly thankful for our largess. Before sitting down for Thanksgiving Dinner this year, you may choose to perform any of these 10 simple acts of gratitude; doing at least three would be a phenomenal start to the holidays. More below!
“Que tout être en ce monde dorme sans peur, même une seule nuit. Que tout être en ce monde mange à sa faim, même un seul jour. Que même pour une seule journée personne ne soit admis à l’hopital suite à des violences. Que chacun aide de façon désintéressée les gens dans le besoin, même une seule journée. Qu’au moins ce simple rêve se réalise, telle est la prière d’Amma.” Mata Amritanandamayi Devi
Thanksgiving: Our Father … Give Us this day, our daily bread…
1. Before Thanksgiving Day arrives, jot down and share 10 things you are thankful/grateful for in 2010 and 10 ways you’d like to give back to others.
2. Send a Thank You email to 10 friends and/or 10 family members specifically identifying the reasons you are grateful to have them in your life.
3. Identify a Homeless Shelter in your area or a neighboring area and deliver food/clothing to them; a special dish on Thanksgiving Day would be perfect.
4. Find at least one person you don’t know to show a random act of kindness and, if the spirit moves you, start today and perform a random act of kindness for the next 10 days.
5. Deliver a bouquet of flowers to a stranger in your local hospital with a note that identifies them as someone you are honoring/ praying for this Thanksgiving Season.
6. Pay a visit to your local Elder Center and invite one of the elderly members over for Thanksgiving Dinner.
7. Volunteer to serve a meal at a local Homeless Shelter before sitting down for your Thanksgiving Dinner; most serve early in the day which gives you time to go home and finish your prep time.
8. Donate to a favorite charity or two; specifically in honor of Thanksgiving and make a commitment to make an offering to a different one each year.
9. Write a Thank You blog post for your readers, fellow bloggers and definitely for the SITSGirls Community to show appreciation for the support and comment love you’ve received to date.
10. Don’t forget to say grace, visualize abundance for the coming year, and treat yourself and your loved ones with compassion on this special day. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
What other tips would you offer the community as a way to show/share our gratitude for 2010 and honor our Thanksgiving Dinner in a memorable way? Do Share.
My Positive Motivation Tip: Cherish the good in your life and always share your goodwill.

I love your ideas! These are wonderful ways to celebrate being thankful. I truly love this time of year – the sights, the sounds, the smells – i wish i could slow it all down for just a little bit longer. This year I’m feeling especially thankful for several things in particular. I think i’m growing, getting older and wiser, and realizing how blessed i am! Thank you for the inspiring post, and congrats on your SITS day!
I love Thanksgiving too; the whole season creates hope and more…

Thank you so much for reminding us that we are really celebrating being Thankful and sharing a feast. There is so much commercialism, sadness, and broken treaties and as a Native American woman it can be a grief-filled season. I thank you for giving me a reason to smile.

I often stop at giving thanks for the things I do have, but the next step is to give back to others. I need to get better at this to teach my girls to do the same.

Elizabeth
Happy SITS Day! What a wonderful blog you have! I love these ideas that you have shared. I try to incorporate several of these whenever I can. Why stop at Thanksgiving??
I also just read your post above this one and really appreciate it as well. I think we are all prone to worrying about how we will be taken care of, don’t you? But if we step outside of ourselves and concern ourselves with serving others, things fall in to place within our own lives. I’m not saying that I am great at doing this, but I’m trying, and that’s what will make the difference.
Have a wonderful day!
That is so true Jenny! I am a work in progress too; I live and learn from the process.

Thank you for these thoughts about slowing down and being thankful before Thanksgiving. I really needed to read something like this because I’ve been stressing out. so, thanks.
Hello MM, How are ya? Stop stressing and enjoy the holiday season… life is short. 🙂

Elizabeth
Congrats on your SITS day! We love Thanksgiving in our family but we do take our expensive trips to the store for the grass-fed free range turkey and all that we serve with it a little bit for granted. So thanks for the reminder to be thankful and to let others we know and don’t know hear those words from us. I do believe that what goes around, comes around so I think I mostly err on the side of doing nice things for others.But sometimes, we forget.
You are right that what goes around, comes around… daily karma! Appreciate your visit.

This is tremendous. The list and the good things to be grateful for. The prayer by Mata is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing you love and light with the SITS girls today.
My MIL has been in ICU since Sep. 26th for a brain aneurysm. We are so THANKFUL she is still with us this Thanksgiving. We may not have a big fancy dinner, but we will hold hands with her at her hospital bed in thanksgiving for her life and miraculous recovery.
Hi Angelia, Sending prayers and blessings for a speedy recovery to your MIL!

Congrats on your SITS day! I love the quote about Thank You being prayer enough. I heard that on Oprah once and I remembered that in my most tired nights putting my infant to sleep in his crib. I would stand at his crib, too tired to think of great words for a prayer, so if I ever felt that way, I would not judge myself, I would say, “Thank You, God,” and I would know THAT WAS ENOUGH. 🙂
Beautifully said… It is a powerful prayer and covers a lot of ground…. TY!

Great post. There are so many ways to be thankful and to help others. Everyone should be able to do something regardless of their status or income. Unfortunately we can always find someone needier than ourselves, but the positive side is that it leaves lots of opportunities to be giving! May we all reach out and bless at least one person this season!
I’d say a big Amen to that… so true that we all can find someone to help, some way to give back and be thankful.

Hello! I am visiting from SITS. I read this post a couple of days ago when it was original posted and it really inspired me. I am following your lead, and I wrote a post for Thanksgiving that lists the ten things that I am thankful for. It is scheduled to post on Thanksgiving day. Thank you very much for the inspiration, and keep up the good work!!!
Awesome that you wrote a special TY for Thanksgiving! Will check it out when you post it.
