Thanksgiving is a time that we are reminded to be grateful. It is also a time that there is an assumption that we are all grateful for family and friends. Now some of us are lucky and have wonderful and loving families but too many others have family dynamics which are complex and complicated to say the least. This is why being grateful for our connections more broadly can be helpful.
Just a sampling of these connections might include:
- Artists of works we connect with
- Authors of stories we connect with
- Board game playing groups we have joined
- Characters we are in relationship with
- Fandoms we are part of
- Friends
- Found Family
- Gods/Goddess/Magical beings
- Local Librarians
- Mother Earth/Nature
- Pen pals
- Pets in our lives
- Postmen/Postwomen
- Religious Communities we are part of
- Social clubs we are part of
- Sports teams we are part of
- Work communities we are part of
So no matter who you are my hope is you have a myriad of different connections to be Thankful for. And always remember the most important connection: Your connection to yourself. It does not matter if you are all alone, surrounded my millions, feel disconnected, feel connected, you can always be thankful for being your own best friend.
