We don't have to wait for Thanksgiving Day to practice gratitude. In fact sages have suggested this practice for a long time. It is particularly useful, they say, in disentanglement from the yama asteya "non stealing". Being grateful for what you have and what is helps so much in the temptation to reach out and grab, especially if what we are grabbing is not useful for our alignment.
An expanded view of the situation seems to truly be helpful in quieting the mind. This practice was a play in cultivating the ability to see more clearly.
