A typical Thanksgiving Day is when a family is getting ready for a feast with all near and dear ones under one roof. There are so much laughter and joy, and so much pre-planning and preparation. The year 2020 has changed the celebration but not the thanksgiving exercise. We have so much to be thankful for despite the pandemic. Here the top 5 that we can convey our gratitude to.
Family, Food & Health
Family is the foundation for all and it the world that operates us and we evolve and grow within it. Surrounded by loving people and having food on the table for all meals is a great blessing. Coupled with food, having good health without any complaints is a major gift. Let’s be thankful for the healthy and happy living this 2020.
Frontline Workers & Teachers
The innumerable doctors, nurses, paramedics, hygiene workers, and personal support workers have put so much on the line to protect our health and help us live in peace. Not just these staff, but suppliers of daily essential who gave us a sense of normality and put food on the table each time. While life was not normal each day, teachers kept the children motivated, safe, and on task with either in-class or online sessions despite the uncertain times. This has given some breathing space for work from home parents.
Technology and the Internet
Technology is the backbone for many businesses, and this has let at least 30% of the world population working in the IT and ITES sectors to work from home. This is indeed a blessing, allowing you to have a job and an income to feed and live. Without the internet nothing exists nowadays, with the lockdown extending each month, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and social media became the only source of entertainment with social distancing.
Sports & Passion
With slow relaxation in the lockdown conditions, many of us first headed out for a walk, jog, and visiting nearby places. Sport is a main source of stressbuster and the return of live sports Like IPL, NBAs, etc helps us witness the same emotion as we would in person at the stadium. Many were able to rekindle their passion for their long-lost skills – like painting, wood carving, music, and much more.
It is rightful to raise a toast for those who have kept us safe, healthy and entertained throughout this year. Enjoy a safe Thanksgiving celebration and remember to retrospect the best and bright things of this year.
