A post I wrote for LinkedIn last week on being thankful, although the day has passed the sentiment remains the same!

Thanks at Thanksgiving.

What a pity that all we have imported from this US festival is Black Friday when really it’s a great time to be thankful.

Of course saying thank you should not just be delivered one day a year but should be a way of life. As a psychologist I know that when people pursue a life of gratitude a load of good things happen like better mental and physical health, more positive relationships and increased happiness.

Even in the midst of tough times it is still worth looking for the good. My husband has just made me an omelette for lunch…I’m on my way to say thank you!
