Grateful Gatherings: Embracing Thanksgiving’s True Spirit of Thankfulness over Turkeys

Nov 21, 2023

As the scent of roasting turkey fills the air and families gather around tables adorned with festive spreads, it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy of creating the perfect Thanksgiving feast. However, it’s essential to remember that the true essence of this beloved holiday lies not in mastering cooking techniques, but in embracing a spirit of gratitude and thankfulness.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings, to appreciate the abundance in our lives, and to show gratitude for the people who bring joy and meaning to our existence. Yet, in the age of social media and the pressure to portray picture-perfect celebrations, we often lose sight of what truly matters on this special day.

The quest for the flawless turkey, the meticulously crafted side dishes, and the impeccable dessert may seem noble, but it can easily overshadow the genuine essence of Thanksgiving. Instead, let us focus on cultivating an atmosphere of gratitude, warmth, and meaningful connections.

First and foremost, take a step back and appreciate the abundance in your life. Be thankful for the roof over your head, the food on your table, and the relationships that bring love and support into your life. Take a moment to express gratitude for the little things that often go unnoticed amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life – the warm embrace of a loved one, the laughter shared with friends, or the beauty of a vibrant autumn sunset.

Remember that the turkey on your plate is simply a symbol of abundance and togetherness. It’s a catalyst for gathering loved ones around a table, engaging in heartfelt conversations, and creating cherished memories. The true significance lies in the conversations shared, the laughter that fills the room, and the precious moments that remind us of the love and bond we share with our families and friends.

Stepping away from the obsession with culinary perfection, consider adopting a more relaxed approach to Thanksgiving. Encourage everyone to take part in the cooking process and embrace imperfection as an opportunity for laughter and camaraderie. Let go of the unrealistic expectations and relish the joy of togetherness and celebration.

Moreover, remember that Thanksgiving is an ideal time to reach out to those less fortunate. Extend a hand and support local charities or donate to causes that uplift those in need. Engaging in acts of kindness further reinforces the message of gratitude and strengthens the bond within communities.

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, let us encourage meaningful conversations that delve deeper than the surface-level. Share stories, express gratitude, and genuinely connect with one another. Shifting the focus from culinary masterpieces to heartfelt exchanges will enhance the holiday experience and strengthen relationships.

In doing so, we reclaim the true essence of Thanksgiving – a time to reflect, appreciate, and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives. Remember, Thanksgiving is about being thankful, not about cooking the perfect turkey.

So this Thanksgiving, let go of the pressure to create flawlessness in the kitchen. Embrace the imperfections and relish the moments spent with loved ones. Foster an environment of gratitude, warmth, and meaningful connections. Remember that the true beauty of Thanksgiving lies in the spirit of thankfulness, not in the pursuit of culinary perfection.

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki... suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikieread more

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will... get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyoneread more

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for... me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.read more

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
