Wishing Everyone A Happy Thanksgiving 2024

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hello everyone on the CSN H&N discussion board.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
Inviting everyone to consider the many things we have to be thankful for.
The many ways we are Blessed.
Sure things may not be anything they were like 10 years ago or in our pre-cancer days.
Age and cancer have a way of changing things but so do a lot of life's other circumstances.
And we have always adapted to other circumstances throughout our life and cancer is no different.
Another circumstance, right?

Check the link below, here is one man's perspective on it…

It certainly is life changing though.
I believe many endure their cancer and treatment and move on not considering much.
For others cancer is life changing getting them to consider life in depth, the question of where they are going to spend eternity once they leave this life and numbering their days and considering each one as important and a Blessing, not just a string of days.
Cancer is that wall in front of us, and we can’t move forward till something is done about it.
This is the Blessing of cancer, a wake up call to some, certainly a call to all.
No matter your circumstances today you have things to be thankful for and Blessings you can count.
There are folks that were here last year but are sadly not with us anymore-may we remember them fondly and in prayer.

I invite everyone to share your Thanksgiving greetings and ideas here with the rest of us.
Tell us what you are thankful for, how you are Blessed and what you look forward to.

And as always—NEGU (Never Ever Give Up)

Count Your Blessings-They are still there in the darkest times. When I am in a dark time, health struggle, or other tough situations and my mood is not very positive I will get a piece of paper out and start writing down my blessings and before you know it I have quite a long list and don't feel so bad after all, give it a try.

And lastly always remember you are never alone in these cancer situations because there are always other people on the forum or your local cancer support group who can understand exactly what you are going through and have a few helpful ideas and hints to get through your latest difficulty and struggle, through and to the next hour and day which holds hope unseen, for a better time, a better day, there is a hope burning deep within each of us that never fades.

If Thanksgiving is challenging for some of you this year don't let it overwhelm you or take control of your life just carry on as best you can with the activities you always do on Thanksgiving remembering that the people that love you will understand and want you with them now and forever.

Stay strong my friends.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

NEGU (Never Ever Give Up)

Take Care, God Bless
