Dear IC Family,
Thirty years ago, I started a tradition. After dinner and before Thanksgiving dessert, when we definitely needed a break, I asked my guests, about 25 or so, to go around the table and say what they were grateful for. This was based on my Ph.D. dissertation work on appreciation, the first in the field. There was not a dry eye in the house by the end of the sharing.
For dinner with your family and friends, take the next step and add specific appreciations for each person, what you appreciate about them, who they are and what they do. The results will amaze you. After all these years, they still amaze me. You might need tissues. Enjoy!
Love and blessings for Thanksgiving,
Dr. Linne
