You know things are going downhill when a relative at the Thanksgiving table says to another, “What do you mean by that?” At that point the awkwardness kicks in. Then so much for the thankful part. Family functions are often times when all those unresolved issues from all the years past sit down with us at the table. We try to pretend everything is all right. But despite believing it is hidden from immediate view the tension is very evident to everyone present.
And then the rest of the day is spent watching each other to build up ammunition for what will be talked about at Christmas. Who got up from the table first? Who fell asleep after dinner? Who had a second plate of turkey?
I wish we didn’t put so much pressure on ourselves this holiday. Bottom line, I just want to be grateful; grateful for the fact that I have a family… that I have a great country to live in… that I am alive and kicking today. And I find that in my moments of gratitude, when I am truly thankful, I tend to forget the past wrongs done to me.
Today I want to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. I wish for you a strong sense of gratitude that will outweigh the frustrations.
