Gratitude and Reflection During Thanksgiving Week
As Thanksgiving approaches, many of us are reminded to pause and reflect. Yet it is equally important to acknowledge that the traditional story of Thanksgiving is not accurate and the story of the "Pilgrims and Indians" has caused lasting harm to Indigenous communities. The commonly told narrative erases violence, colonization, and loss.
At The Atypical View, we believe in practicing both awareness and compassion, recognizing that truth-telling can coexist with gratitude. However you choose to spend this day, whether in quiet reflection, with loved ones, or in community, it can be a reminder to connect with gratitude in a way that feels authentic.
Gratitude, at its core, is the recognition and appreciation of what brings value, safety, or meaning to our lives. It does not require perfection, positivity, or forced thankfulness. Gratitude is most powerful when it honors lived experience rather than bypasses it.
