Hopefully we all spent yesterday in good company while filling our bellies with sweet, sweet sustenance. We certainly did! And we are beyond grateful, maybe even a little boastful, that our thanksgiving dinner was prepared by a friend who happens to be a personal chef (a really great personal chef). Now that are bellies are filled to the brim we plan to focus on feeding our souls.

While many overfed Americans will be taking to the malls to fill the voids in their hearts and closets, we are spending the day enjoying life just as it is. Today, we will fill our hearts with gratitude for every blessing, material and otherwise, that has found its way to us. Dubbed "Buy Nothing Day" by social activists today will be spent by many in non-consumption as a reaction to the mega-consumption monster that is awakened each year on Black Friday.

In all honesty our household, especially as of late, spends many days without buying a thing but today we will buy nothing with intention. We aren't buying nothing because we are poor, though we are, we will use today to focus on being grateful for what we already have. And what we already have is a life abundant.

Today I will meditate on the words of my father, though I never understood it as a kid, he used to say "It is better to want what you have, than have what you want." My hope is that all of you want for nothing. Let's spend today in gratitude.
