How To Be Thankful This Thanksgiving

Picture
2021 has been quite the year. Between lockdowns, vaccination roll-outs, an election with political division, it's understandable how people might feel uneasy, scared and unhopeful about where we are heading coming out of the pandemic.
With all that's going on, let's not forget to be thankful for some things that we may take for granted.

Being Connected
Throughout this pandemic, a big thing to be thankful for is that it's 2021, meaning that we have technology that keeps us connected and busy. 

There's a lot of anger and fear being spread online. 
Still, one giant plus for always being connected through social media and numerous devices is that it allows us to communicate with family and friends when we aren't allowed to see each other. 
Also, because of technology:
  • We can have face to face conversations on our phone screens. 
  • We get instant news updates right at our fingertips. 
  • We watched tutorials on YouTube to try new things to keep us busy at home. 
  • Even though it was challenging, it allowed students to keep learning through online school and allowed people to work from home.

Imagine if this pandemic happened before the early 2000s, before iPhones, Netflix and all the other apps and devices we have at our disposal. 
People would feel even more uncertain and disconnected than they already are.

Family and Friends 
When people are losing loved ones due to COVID, take a moment to be thankful for the friends and family you have in your life and cherish the relationships you have. The lockdown has put a new perspective on how we view our relationships, so we shouldn't take time with our loved ones for granted.

Employment
Unfortunately, some businesses had to close during the pandemic, which meant many people lost their jobs. If you are still employed or recently got a new job after losing your last one, take some time to be thankful for your current employment status, as many people may have lost  work during this time.

Finding new ways to be self-sufficient
During the pandemic, there was a spike in DIY projects. Since people had more time on their hands, what better way to pass the time than to catch up on fixing things around the house or building a fence in your backyard? 
This time also saw a spike in cooking and baking as people tried out new recipes to cook for themselves and their families. It's this type of self-sufficiency that should continue long after the pandemic is over.

The little things
Don't forget to be thankful for the little things, which can include:
  • Your health.
  • Having food to eat.
  • Nature

This Thanksgiving, take a moment to be grateful for the small things you may take for granted daily. Especially in times of uncertainty, take a moment to remember the good things you have going on.
