I was thinking why many people sound sad about Thanksgiving this year? Okay don’t make fun of me, I am conscious of the circumstances. But really where do disappointments come from?

We have a picture of what is ideal in our minds. Ideal Thanksgiving, ideal partner, ideal job, ideal home, and ideal us.

When we compare to the ideal (picture or thought in our head) and if it or he/she or self is less than ideal, we are disappointed. So maybe we can choose what would be ideal Thanksgiving no matter the past. I decided that it would be ideal to workout and watch Our Planet on Netflix and eat deliscious food. It has been a wonderful Thanksgiving by myself.

What picture of ideal will you set aside?
