As someone with Native American blood, I can’t support the origins of Thanksgiving and the whitewashing of history... but I do appreciate any day where people choose gratitude, presence, and sharing what they have with others.

HAPPY GRATITUDE DAY.

Happy gratitude day. Thanksgiving, Halloween and all this shit, Valentine's day and black Friday nonsense. Never understood. My mother's response when I brought her flowers on mother's day being a child: bring me flowers when you feel like it, not because it's a day in the fucking calendar.... RIP mom.

Mom spoke truth—though I do see the validity of people needing something on their calendar to celebrate and draw their attention to the present moment.

Calendars give them structure in life.... I don't judge them at all.

Agreed! 🙌🏼 an attitude of gratitude brings one and all into thee presence

You mean where a Native American saved a bunch of stupid white people who where starving and they were thankful for it?

Later he was made a slave, and was not free for like 3 years. Ironically though being a slave saved his life, as everyone else died from small pox or some disease.
