As great as it is to have a holiday from our busy schedules, this is a special day to give thanks for our lives and our loved ones.

But what is often forgotten is the second part of the word. Thanksgiving is also a great day to think about “giving”.

It's a day to recognize the wonderful gifts in our lives from friends, family, health or security.  It's a day where we can reflect on what we have, as opposed to what we lack.
