History:

Thanksgiving day was first mentioned in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the ` Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as the first thanksgiving. It wasn’t until 1863 that President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day to be held each November.

Reflection:

I believe having a holiday for thanksgiving has been a big achievement, there are times where we need a time off of work or school and just be with the people we care about and be thankful for them. There are certain people that are so valuable in our lives that there aren't any words to describe how thankful we are for them. They have helped us achieve our goals and put us on right paths and been with us since day 1. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays there is a big feast and big conversations and life is just good during fall. I am indeed thankful for the food especially the pumpkin pie.

             "True wealth is of the heart, not the purse"

    There are two meanings of wealth. One meaning the state of being rich, and the other meaning the state of being healthy. Money is what makes the world go round with out it we have no food or clothes or water or a roof to live upon. But to your benefits being wealthy can be something you inherited when you were born. Being rich does not grant you happiness, in theory you can have all the money in the world but there will always be something missing in your life. For example, if you have rich parents who spoil you 24/7 you think that would be all you would ever wish for but in the contrary, your parents won't have time for you. You will have to be facing your problems on your own and you won't have a loving mother to talk to about it. Another example is, being wealthy in money but not being wealthy in health. Health is something worth more than money, if you are not healthy enough you don't have a chance to live and thats when all the "wealth" you though was important will no longer be necessary because you will be dead. That'as why you should choose the right and find wealth in the heart, not the purse. Once a while give charity and spread love around the world. ;)
