With so much negativity surrounding us,I think what you're trying to do is a wonderful thing. No one is asking us to be blind to the difficult realities that often surround us and our neighbors. All too often we feel the stresses even more so around the holidays when we're all supposed to be filled with love and laughter. Awareness only takes a moment and can help change a darik attitude into one of light. This Thanksgiving our guests will each mention aloud just one positive thing that has happened in their lives over the last year, Maybe it will stir awareness in each of us to start expressing some positive energy and light. Another idea might be to place a piece of paper under each plate with just one word written on it.....sunshine, rain, animals, books, parents, children, etc. ....before dinner is over, each person will be asked to read their word and say one positive thing about it. No formality, just awareness that everything has something good about it. Happy Thanksgiving.

16 guests will each be asked to mention just one thing tor which to be grateful ins past year, I'm going to have a difficult time keeping it to just one. Happy Thanksgiving. Keep up your good work.

Thank you.
