Author of The Ultimate Guide to Frugal Living and the online course Bloom Where You’re Planted Have you ever thought about how gratitude has changed over the years? The historic “first Thanksgiving” – you know the one that schoolchildren across the country have re-enacted on gymnasium stages for decades if not centuries – people were grateful just to have enough food to eat so they wouldn’t die of starvation over the winter. The past few years have been some of the most overall difficult in my lifetime. I say overall difficult because‚ like many others‚ I’ve had time periods that were personally far worse than this. Like the two-year span when I lost my dad‚ my job‚ my house‚ my car‚ and then my children’s father? That really sucked indescribably. But as far as overall mental health crises‚ grief‚ financial problems‚ stress‚ dystopian laws‚ rage‚ crime‚ and a change to our way of life‚ these past few years take the American cake for my lifetime. So what the hell are we so thankful about right now? I’m glad you asked. Gratitude will get you through a lot. Just as our long-ago Puritan ancestors were grateful for some corn and pumpkin and their new neighbors who showed them the fruits of this land (before all-out slaughter occurred‚ but that’s outside the scope of this article)‚ we too have small‚ humble blessings which we must not overlook. Perhaps you’re having chicken instead of turkey this year‚ visiting a soup kitchen for your meal‚ cobbling together a feast based on what you have on hand‚ or just having a burger. It could be that you’re all alone and missing your family and a video call is a cold comfort when you just want a hug from the people you love. You may have downgraded your living accommodations due to our economic crisis‚ or you could be packing up to do just that‚ or hosting your last Thanksgiving in a home where you raised your children and lived the story of your life. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that some people have it worse. You already know that and it surely does not make your situation any better. Life isn’t a game of‚ “Well at least things aren’t as bad as they are for Hildebrand next door.” (And if that IS your life‚ you need to re-prioritize‚ ASAP.) Your life and your financial situation may have been better in the past. But you’re still alive to fight another day and what greater gift could there be than that? The simplest things are the most important. Instead‚ think about the things you have to be grateful for without comparison‚ because I assure you‚ your low point would be a high point for many others. You have a roof over your head. You have food on your table. You’re not in immediate‚ life-threatening danger. You have someone‚ anyone to love. The simplest things are the most important. Look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The base of that pyramid is made up of the things that are most essential to life.   It sounds like nothing and yet it’s everything. Trust me‚ if you have lived without having those needs met‚ without knowing where your next meal is coming from or where you’ll stay that night or if someone is going to come home and beat the crap out of you‚ you will agree that these pieces of security that so many take for granted mean the world. If you have those needs met‚ then you have something for which to be grateful. While it may not be fancy and it may not be what it once was‚ you have the basics of survival‚ and you have this day to be thankful for it. If you have the internet or a phone to reach those who can’t be with you‚ you are still blessed with their presence in some way. Instead of thinking about what you don’t have‚ think about what you do have. Not everyone has those needs met. Think about all the times throughout history when these things were not a given as they are now. Think about people living on the streets‚ those who survived the shelling and mayhem of the Balkan war‚ those who are victims of trafficking‚ those who live life in fear of not finding their next meal or surviving until the next day. For one day‚ just this one‚ I encourage you to focus on the meaning of the day. Tomorrow you can pick up where you left off‚ complaining and worrying. (You might instead consider adding gratitude as a practice to your daily life.) But for today‚ let’s put aside politics‚ social tribes‚ talk about viruses and vaccines‚ and all the things that divide us. Let’s ignore someone’s purple hair or new tattoo‚ or better yet‚ find a way to compliment it. Let’s enjoy people for who they are‚ not who you wish they were. Let’s focus on the things we have to be grateful for – those noisy kids running around‚ the dog‚ the cat‚ the family member who always complains‚ the roof that shelters us‚ the food on the table. We have no idea what next year will bring‚ but we have what we have today. No matter how humble‚ we have more than we know. Happy Thanksgiving‚ to all of you who have stood by us here at The Organic Prepper through thick and thin. You have our gratitude every single day.

There’s no way around it: the holidays can be tough right now. Due to the economic crisis‚ some far-flung families can’t afford to get together. Others can’t swing the traditional feast‚ and they’re dialing it back. Other families have lost people over the years‚ whether to Covid or another cause‚ and there are heart-breakingly empty seats at the dinner table. Still others simply have nobody to share the day with for any of a number of reasons. Last year we started a new tradition with our first online OP Friendsgiving. This community is like a family (complete with grouchy uncles and a few members who make us shake our heads with their political beliefs.) But truly‚ we have such a lovely community of people here from so many different backgrounds. The conversations are enlightening and ever-interesting. Let’s “get together” here! I realize this isn’t a substitute for truly being with the people you love‚ but I hope it helps the day go by a little more easily‚ just knowing that someone out here cares about you. We’ll be keeping this post front and center on Thanksgiving Day. I’m going to post a bit about our Thanksgiving and a couple of recipes to get things started‚ and the things I’m grateful for this year. Please take a moment in the comments to do the same if you feel so moved. And let other commenters know that they’re not alone. Here’s what we’re eating. We’re continuing our tradition of untraditional holiday meals Here’s the menu: Steak bites in garlic butter with sauteed mushrooms Au jus Caesar salad with bacon‚ Parmesan cheese‚ and croutons Mashed potatoes Roasted Brussels sprouts in honey balsamic glaze For dessert we’re going with: Chocolate cheesecake Aden contributed a Thanksgiving poem for preppers last year. Aden wrote the most beautiful poem that I have to share with you. As a prepper‚ it will really hit home. It’s called Comparison‚ The Thief of Joy. He’s so creative. What I’m grateful for this year Dealing with a longterm injury has been tough but I know I still have things really good. I’m incredibly grateful for my family. My girls and I have such a beautiful relationship‚ and it’s a priceless treasure. The fact that they are adults (23 and 28) and they still want to talk to their mom nearly every day just brings a glow to my heart every time I hear the phone ring. I’m an introvert. I have very few friends. But the ones I do have…holy cow. They’re just incredible. They’re so supportive‚ so loving‚ and so encouraging. It seems like no matter what I’m dealing with or how “crazy” my latest idea sounds‚ they are there with suggestions‚ love‚ and cheerleading. They even tolerate my quirky need for solitude with unrelenting affection. They’ve got my back every step of the way. Y’all know who you are! I have the most amazing readers in the Bloggerdom. My work is such a privilege. I know everybody says this but I really never expected to be a blogger with lots of readers. The fact that I’ve gotten to know such a wonderful‚ supportive‚ and caring community through the work that I do is a gift that constantly amazes me. I’m going into my 11th year of blogging on The OP and I feel endless gratitude that you all help me do what I love every single day. I always wanted to write‚ and your visits to my website make that possible. How could I get any luckier than this? You guys mean the world to me. I got to spend a big part of the year living abroad. I spent most of the past year in Europe‚ visiting new corners of inexpensive places and just exploring. The history of Bulgaria and Romania‚ with their escape from tyranny and communism‚ was incredibly influential in my perspective on current events. What about you? What’s a dish that you make every Thanksgiving without fail? Would you share the recipe with us in the comments? Is there a story behind the recipe? If so please tell us! What are you grateful for this year? What makes your heart sing? Let’s talk about it. And if you are struggling‚ tell us. Hopefully‚ a burden shared is a lighter burden. That being said‚ we here at the OP love our readers‚ and we’re so glad that we can provide information and entertainment to you.
