You might be thinking that Thanksgiving in America was started to celebrate the Pilgrims, the Native Americans, and a meal. You would be incorrect.
It began... in 1789, Representative Elias Boudinot from New Jersey presented a resolution requesting that Congress persuade the now-President Washington to declare a thanksgiving observance in honor of the creation of the new United State Constitution. Congress agreed and passed the resolution creating a joint committee to make their request to the president. It was President Lincoln who created Thanksgiving as an annual of observance.
Now what if there was a way for you to make this day personally meaningful, a day of renewing living your ideals and principles to the fullest? To really take a look at how you're living your life and how you truly want it to be?
Here's to giving thanks!
