It can be hard to be thankful when you are looking at other people. I mean, think about it. When you are looking at social media posts, and you see how people sell their success, it can cause you to feel left behind. Laura Belgray talks about this is the sentiment in an article at Business Insider. “It’s easy to feel behind when you scroll Instagram and see teenage influencers raking in billions from lip gloss, or overhear 20-something tech kids in line at Starbucks, talking about their Tesla collections and early retirements.” The article by Belgray was published earlier

I can remember many a Thanksgiving mornings getting that turkey ready for the oven. I can almost smell the aroma of homemade rolls, pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and much more. Laughter comes from the other room as we visit with family members we haven’t seen in months. “Look at how much he’s grown!” “You are getting so tall,” another says. “I sure am looking forward to some of that turkey,” my grandpa might say. Thanksgiving isn’t just about getting together for a meal, but, in all honesty, it is about remembering the things we are thankful for.
