The Lost Art of Giving Thanks
Posted by: | Comments
My appreciation for the Thanksgiving holiday has matured over the years. There was a time when all Thanksgiving really meant to me was a great meal by my grandmother that inevitably turned into an eating contest with my younger brothers, followed by a football game on TV as we lay on the floor, writhing in the bloated discomfort of our engorgement. Then we had pie.
I find myself a lot more contemplative these days about Thanksgiving. It really isn’t about the turkey dinner or the football game anymore. And, while my thoughts during Thanksgiving – and the entire holiday season, for that matter – turn increasingly toward my family, I am also reminded that sincere expressions of gratitude are a tremendous source of both internal and external power in business settings as well.
