Cancer- The Catalyst for my Gratitude Practice

Cancer- The Catalyst for my Gratitude Practice

Tomorrow marks one of my favorite holidays in the United States, Thanksgiving. It is a non-denominational holiday that revolves around the celebration and tradition rooted in the first Thanksgiving dinner- a time when Native Americans and Pilgrims came together to break bread, celebrate harvest and connect, despite any perceived differences. 

Thanksgiving provides us a yearly opportunity to recognize those things for which we are grateful. For me, one of those things has been cancer. OK, maybe not cancer itself, but my experience with cancer. I am absolutely grateful for it. How cancer became the catalyst for me to make the connection between a joyful life and practicing gratitude.
