Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, many Americans will gather to eat, watch football, and be with their families. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attendees of the original 1621 harvest meal. The pilgrims are the ones acknowledge founders of the feast. These people would give thanks to the creator’s gift so it was already a big part of their life. Giving thanks was, and still is, the primary reason for ceremonies and celebrations. Thanksgiving Day is a day of joy love, and mutual support. It’s a day where all your family can come together as one and enjoy each other’s company. It’s a day to give thanks and to remember all the good in the world. You watch football with your family and friends, you eat, and you celebrate.

Reflection: I honestly think that it is nice that we have such a day. I like spending time with my family members and especially those that I have not seen in months, or maybe even years.

Kindness

Kindness

Reflection: When I saw all those random acts of kindness, it made me feel good inside. It made me happy to know that people now a days are still kind and do things for others without expecting something in return. When the basketball team put in their player Michael in their last game, they didn’t expect to win, but a member from the opposite team noticed how much Michael really wanted to make a basket so when it was his turn to shoot, the team mate from the opposite team called Michael, gave him the ball and let him shoot. Everyone was so happy and the boy from the opposite team was to. Random acts of kindness are sometimes what keeps a person going throughout the day. A random act of kindness can save someone’s life.

“If it is not right

 do not do it;

if it is not true

do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

 

Examples:

• ·     If someone tells you to drink or use drugs and you know it’s wrong, then you don’t do it.
• ·         If someone tells you something bad about a friend and you know it’s wrong, then you don’t say it.

Reflection: You know what is right and what is wrong, and you should want to do what is right all the time, even if someone tries to get you to do something wrong.
