Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated by both Americans and Canadians. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. The origin and history of Thanksgiving Day (for Canada) is a little different from the US and refers more towards being thankful for a successful harvest. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day American families gather together and reflect on reasons for being thankful. The origin started with the decree of Governor William Bradford in July 30, 1623, that Thanksgiving Day was to be set aside for the special purpose of prayer and celebrations for the many things God had done.
This tradition continues on even today as part of societys love and importance in traditions. Thanksgiving symbolizes family, life, liberty, and a time to reflect on the many blessings we have. The Neurofeedback Wellness Center (Houston Neurofeedback, Woodlands Neurofeedback, & Katy Neurofeedback) would like to offer our appreciation for our clients, friends, families, and associates. It is our greatest desire and blessing for you and your family may prosper in health, wealth, and wisdom in the years to come.
In conclusion, I have enclosed some Thanksgiving Quotes and poem for your enjoyment. Thank you all!

Thank You Lord
Although I preoccupy myself with news and nonsense of the day,
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank you, Lord, that I can see. There are many who less fortunate.
Even though I huddle in the safety of my home, putting off the errands of the day,
Thank you, Lord that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden or have no home.
Even though the hours of my day are hectic, emails lost, and tempers are short,
Thank you, Lord for my family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our house, cars, and furniture never looks like the pictures in magazines,
Thank you, Lord for our shelter, our health, and the food we have. There are many who less fortunate.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest,
