Happy thanksgiving. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

Happy thanksgiving  to all my friends in the Blog World. On this day when a few 100 Million people are giving thanks for Turkey , let us not forget in daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. I'm most thankful for having great and wonderful  friends like you.

Here are few simple tips.

• Fight pain this holiday weekend by sharing a plate of stuffing with your joke-cracking uncle.  laughter—and lots of it—can boost your pain tolerance, helping your body fight disease and infection. and heal a broken heart.Laughing is a workout for your lungs and chest muscles, and it also releases endorphins, which are known to mask discomfort and boost your immune system, researchers say. Many more aspects of holiday cheer—yep, annoying family members included—are good for your health.Laugh at the annoying members with good hearty laughter.That means you actually can leave your mom and dad’s place a healthier, happier guy. 

• Raise fitter kids. Use Thanksgiving as a template for your average Thursday night: not so much the piles of food, but eating together as a family. Frequent family meals mean healthier eating and a lower body mass index in children,by sitting at the dinner table together you can monitor what they eat and how much, make sure to say "enough of that," when they are about to over indulge. 

• Bust stress and worry. Have a chat with your sister if you are blessed to have one—Brighman Young University researchers found that guys with sisters are happier than those without them. It comes down to social support: sisters are better at giving it than brothers. Your sis can suppress your loneliness and fear through conversation alone—no matter the topic. Boy do I know this to be the truth. My big sister is and has always been my rock. Raised by my parents, she is actually my cousin that came to live with my parents before I was born. She had always been there in good time and bad times. Always with a cheerful word.

• Boost your mood. Round up your family’s finest athletes and fling around the pigskin while the turkey’s in the oven. Just 15 minutes of physical activity can boost your mood—backyard football games included.

• Tighten bonds. If the game gets a little too heated with your big brothers—sometimes sports can bring out the worst in competitive siblings—head back in and pour back a pint with him. Siblings with close bonds—no matter the sex—have positive impacts on each other, more so than parents. “No matter how bad a relationship seems, shooting the bull with a beer and light conversation seems to work out the best,”This why I insisted that we have 2 kids to my wife. because I was and only biological child my parents had, however my sister was there to welcome me home and taught me my color and how to tie my shoe laces, and match my clothing. The best part was that she became a teacher and many other benefited from her kindness and warmth and dedication. My two sons have each other and I know they will have each others back and hope that the relationship they've had growing up continues.

I love this quote because it is so true:  by ~Edmund O'Neill
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction, if your heart tells you that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

Let's all give thanks for the many good things in our lives: 
As I'm far away from my sonS on this day I realize that, happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
