Giving thanks-in relationship to Thanksgiving Day or any other time--can be a religious expression or a non-religious assessment but in both cases, it is a healthy thing to do. For both our physical and emotional well-being, a time to count our blessings might be a part of every day. Certainly it deserves far more than annual attention. All too often, our blessings are taken for granted and it is our troubles that command our attention. We get so wrapped up in our troubles that our lives lose perspective. | What does this have to do with health? The results of an often disproportionate dwelling on care and woes can lead to ills that lead us to physicians’ of- fices. Most studies show that three out of four persons seen by a family physician are there because of emotional problems, because emotions are causing a physical illness or because such problems are making a physical illness worse. We can’t separate how and what we think from our physical well-being. One impacts on the other. In most cases, one of the best preventive medicines is to pause frequently in our usually disproportionate preoccupation with problems to consider those things for which we can be thankful. Sometimes in the lives of some people, their problems are overwhelming and their Page 11 blessings so few that help is needed. In all but a few cases, however, a pause to look ob- jectively at life will show blessings that make today and tomorrow far, far brighter. The beauty of life is enhanced by its contrast with the ugliness that also is a part of life. Some would say that beauty would not exist without the existence of ugliness. There is beauty everywhere if you but pause in your con- templation of problems long enough to see it. And, when you see it, if you let the feelings that it evokes flood your being, you will be a better person for it: Physically, emotionally and spiritually.
