Things To Be Thankful For
As I enjoy my continental breakfast of eggs, sausage and french toast in a quite cafe with the power out, I think to myself "What am I grateful for on this Thanksgiving?" The first thing that comes to mind is of course electricity. Electricity powers my phone that I use on a daily basis, lights that help me to see at night, internet that allows me to stay connected with my family and friends half way across the world and last but not least toasters, that without power my continental breakfast would never be complete. Clean water is also very important and something that I have always took for granted until in India where clean water, though affordable, is still quite the luxury for most people. Good food also comes to mind which we in America take for granted as well. Being able to have whatever you want whenever you want is a beautiful thing however realizing its beauty can be very difficult at times and thus we neglect its extravagance. I'm thankful for meeting such awesome people here in India, I can tell that I have made some life long friends already in my first 2 weeks here. I'm also very thankful for all my friends and family in America and all my brothers and sisters around the globe. I think the idea of Thanksgiving should be shared with everyone, neighbors, friends and acquaintances because we are all one big family living together on our home, Earth. We mustn't forget that ever. With that said I will wish everybody to have an filling turkey dinner in a warm home with stellar people. There's no turkey's here in Manali so I think I will indulge in some pizza for the first time this Thanksgiving among good friends. Namaste.

I give great thanks to the Great Goddess Mother Earth for her healing herbs, like simple peppermint that immediately helps our stomachs deal with toxic overload. I also thank sacred sage for clearing unwanted negativity, for chamomile to help me relax, and lavender and coriander for my heart...and a good love spell here and there. And I am careful with beloved nutmeg, for too much past a sprinkle or two, will stimulate my optimism centers and cause me to get quite loopy and insane. We must never take for granted the power of mother nature, in her ever readiness to unleash her incredible potency, for in our herbal allies, a bit like ours, their spirits are a bit mighty. Take to your cup of simple blessings.
