Thanksgiving: To exhibit an attitude of thanks, of gratitude, toward the giver of a gift.

The Thanksgiving Handbook explores the concept, the attitude and the action of our giving of thanks, both during our designated holiday of Thanksgiving and in our everyday life, with the purpose of expanding the parameters of our understanding as it pertains to our offering up thanks for our blessings, our gifts, and for life itself.

In Part One, we will look at the history of Thanksgiving and the foundation laid for our day of celebration. We will look at the beauty and the blessing of the day and discuss ways to bring deeper meaning to what we do on that day, sharing thoughts and stories of people who have found reason to be thankful.

Part two looks at the development of an attitude of thanksgiving as it pertains to our everyday lives and the potential power it contains to change our lives in a manner that we all desire.
