You could make a thankful list...

Thanksgiving means "thanks-living!"

Psalm 100:4

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and praise His name.

When I worked at Del Webb Hospital for 10 years in the medical psych. unit.  One of the things a counselor had the patients do during his sessions was to go around the room and to ask each person to name one thing they were thankful for.  

When you are in there for a mental illness of some kind it was often difficult for them to get their focus off themselves and focus on thanksgiving.  He also had them "count their blessings."  

In the midst of whatever trials, losses, or griefs we are going through, we have way more to be thankful to God for than we can ever realize. So during this season, thank God. Thank Him mostly for the fact that we have a sure salvation in Jesus Christ 
and that He will never leave or forsake us. 

Thanks be to God!
