Actions of thanks

Kindness is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

"Accion de Gracias."  This is Spanish for Thanksgiving.

Don’t you love that first word, which translates as “action”?   Literally it reads “Action of Thanks.”

What a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving -- with actions.

Even though times may be tough, there is always something to be grateful for.  Maybe you have a friend, a spouse, or children who love you; or a dog or cat or a bird who loves you.  Maybe you can count on three meals a day and a roof over your head.  Maybe you have a job.  

Maybe you have an opportunity to set things right in a relationship. 

Here are some possible actions of gratitude:  A phone call to let someone know you care about them, or an email for the same reason.  Maybe a card or a letter -- sent the old fashioned way!   Your time given can be a precious gift.

How many ways can you find of to express your thanks through actions this coming week?
