Turkey is tasty and sweet potatoes are, well, sweet...
But the best part about Thanksgiving is how focused everyone is on the concept of gratitude.
Don't you just love that warm, fuzzy feeling that creeps up on you when you get together with your loved ones, and talk about the things that make your life beautiful?
Now imagine if you could get that feeling not just on Thanksgiving, but every single day.
A friend of mine by the name of Mike Reining had the same idea, and he's started a website called GratitudeLog. It's a social networking site where you can share gratitude messages and gifts with your friends and other GratitudeLog members.
Think of it as a happier, more positive version of FaceBook 
I've been using GratitudeLog for a few weeks, and I dare say I'm hooked! If you'd like to join me and start telling me what you're grateful for, sign up at the link below for your free account:
Connect with me on GratitudeLog here.
And after you've signed up, turn up your speakers and watch my Thanksgiving message:
Here's wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, love and enlightenment
Sincerely,
Burt
My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
Hi Burt,
My heartfelt thanks for making most of you videos free.
I feel/ view them PRICELESS teachings.
You are doing a wonderfull work by offering these inspirational experiences/ teachings accessable to people who cannot afford costly seminars/ access costly viedeos.
In countless gratitude i offer my Thanks to you.
Vvijay
Dear Burt,
Thank you for sharing all the amazing insights and techniques!
Did you do a quantum jump to recognize the "Moment Before the Big Bang?" If so, did you view this as an event or did you talk to one of your insightful selves about this discovery? Or did you realize this through understanding the laws of the universe?
This is such a different view point that it opens quantum fields.
WOW

Dear Burt,first,let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help I am about to receive.
I am grateful for my good health inspite the fact that I barely walk,for the best friends that one can get,for the very goodhearted woman ( who is my paid help,but I am the luckiest woman on the Earth to have her)and i am thankful for every day,every flower on my balcony,every colour on the sky or on and in the sea-I sincerely hope for the promised Golden Age and that my house will not be as an island in the sea in my lifetime. Cheers,Nina
Happy Thanksgiving Burt. I just wanted to let you know that I showed the video of you answering a question that I asked you, to my sister. She thinks you're adorable and you made her feel very relaxed with the way you speak. She said, who is that guy again? because I could listen to him all day! This is exactly the reaction I had hoped she would have and secretly knew she would have. I think you're a one of a kind and I'm grateful for what I have learned from you in the videos you send me.
Dearest Burt and, actually, to All of you contributing to this site.
Thank you, Burt, for your kind, encouraging and empowering words on all the videos.
Thank you, All, for sharing your uplifting comments, your challenges and your gratitude.
For me, this site is a reminder that we all are on the same journey with lots of questions and hope, goodness and love.
To Valerie, after I read your blurb I thought, oh I have to send a word of encouragement. And then I noticed you have the same name as I! Hey hang in there-you sound very supportive and these kids who chose you to be their Mother during this life time(and you chose them to be your kids), they are appreciating that you are there for them while you are all experiencing these challenging times together. "Let it be" are very inspiring words and a soothing message from the Universe.
To Louis~ Dying is part of Living. It's part of the whole deal--and hardest for the people left behind. Miracles also happen all the time! So burn the candle, send out your most genuine thoughts and know that whatever happens is for the good of all--including your wife AND including you.
Thank you for your continuously kind and gentle words, Burt. Thank you, Everyone, for your good thoughts~ and many blessings during this weekend dedicated to thinking thoughts of appreciation. ~Val
Happy Thanksgiving! Your painting is lovely! Thank you for all of your uplifting comments! I look forward to every thing you send! Thanks again!
Margie
Dear Burt,

I wander you have some secret to share with,so that I can make easy life for all who are with me.

Heey Burt, I like the new painting! I think you captured/represented energy nicely... there are areas that even look like things are made up of neon signs bending all over, which also makes me think of airbrush work. Quite stylish, I say. Is it oil?
P.S. should the candle have to burn up completely in that dissipation technique? If so, could incense cones or sticks be used instead? Even though it doesn't stay aflame...
I need a quick, strict way to reduce my blood pressure! I'm taking the highest level of two blood presure medicines and it is still 170s over 110s. Lots of stress in my life right now. No stories needed. How do I quickly and definitively lower my BP to acceptable level!!! Terry
Dear Burt
I loved the painting. I shall not give up painting however much I am critized! I shall use your method and succeed. I would like to know if how I could heal someone who has kidney failure. Is it possible or is it only for aches and pains?
Sheila
Nice painting. Well, My son got out of rehab on the 23rd (YES!) and ended up getting arrested on the 24th(Oh nO!) Yet for this I am truly grateful. My dead husband visited me last night (YES!) GRATITUDE! My dear friend with early dementia was my dinner partner for Thanksgiving and it was also her 85th birthday! GRATEFUL!
My dog has stopped chewing on her foot (GRATEFUL!)My 19 yr old daughter can't find a job and when she gets called for an interview she has been flunking the math tests.(oh no!) GRATEFUL! These jobs are not for her! SO much more but I must light a candle and say a prayer.Good night. The sonf "Let it be " is in my head tonight!
Hope Louis (comment 3 hours ago) was helped directly or indirectly. It is sad to see loved ones being in pain
Dear Burt, I am grateful for my life, for every breath I take, for every lesson I learn. I am grateful to you Burt for making me think. I see you managed to colour in your trees. They look lush and your painting has a very welcoming feel to it, so I am grateful to you for letting me in. Thank you, love and Best Wishes, Liz.

Making the world a better Place. Your picture looks like a great source of flowing energy. Thank you for your inspiration. Have a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving.
Burt...Thank you for being yourself and your awsome emails. Good life to you. Ron
Dear Burt, Throught your many emails to me from your company, I have received many enticing offers. I have explained that I lost my job due to a major car accident and have no funds to purchase these. Even the offer you send out 48 hours ago...even though it was a great offer...I have no funds for these. I wish I could get them, for I do need help and guidance, but with a home Tax bill over due ($1,700) at present and not sure where the money is going to come from, I sent in an email explaining this. So, if you ever give any "Full Scholarships" out to individuals, please consider me. I have sent a number of replys to the emails you have sent to me and never once did I get a reply. Soooooooooooooo...I am trying this way to see if I get a reply. Thanks for reading and I wish you continued success. Thanks, Sherry

Beautiful....I don't have a word to tell you happy Thankgiving Day.
It is great and funny feeling happiness
thank in Thangiving Day.
Hi Burt,
I hope you had a great Thanks giving!
In Ireland, Christmas is the big celebration. I read in 'The Secret'...I think it was J. Canfield who said every morning and night think of ten things to be grateful for.I've been doing that ever since and...things just get better and better.
Thanksgiving day is twice a day everyday for me.....It's amazing.
Thanks for your messages Burt. Keep it going, and stay strong and healthy!!
Ciarán
Dear Burt!
I can feel the energy in your painting!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, love and enlightenment
You are very talented and share all your gifts from God with us. Thank you for making the world a better place to live in.
Happy Thanksgiving Burt!!
I am really looking forward to tomorrows videos....
I have no friends or family this year, so I am celebrating by making sure the birds and squirrels have plenty to eat and by watching them enjoy the food. The squirrels always give me cause to laugh - silly guys.
I am grateful for my warm, dry house and the good food I am fortunate to have. We are so lucky and most of us just do not realize how good we have it.
Think I'll start painting, again. It's a great way to channel energy.
See you tomorrow!
Happy Tanksgiving Day, Burt!
Wishing you a happy and healthy many many
days and years. Thank you for everything.
Sinserely, Ivetta.
I really like the energy of the painting in the trees and the sky! Great job! Happy Thanksgiving!
Urgent PS to my previous posting a few moments ago!
I don't know why there are lots of question marks around my HTG greeting! I in fact typed lots of heart, butterfly and flower symbols from Word!
Warm wishes,
Louise Goddard
????????????Happy Thanksgiving Burt and any Americans reading this!????????????
I'm not American, I'm English and Thanksgiving isn't an 'official' holiday I celebrate. Nonetheless, I endeavour to make every day a Thanksgiving day
With your indulgence Burt, I'd like to share some thoughts I put into 'type' recently for my clients and friends.
Take a pad and pen (or open Word
and write down three things that make you happy. They can be things on which you didn’t necessarily expend extra money.
By alerting yourself to the events/things/people/pets etc that bring you joy and feeling grateful for them, you are training your subconscious to seek ‘abundant times’ – not necessarily pertaining to money.
What three ‘abundant’ moments did you write or type?
Seeing someone or a pet you love? Enjoying a sunrise or sunset? Doing an activity you enjoy? Listening to some music that triggers happy memories?
The truth is, we all have moments that make us happy, that bring us joy… Sadly we often ignore them and focus on what we don’t have/don’t like and how our situations aren’t how we want them to be. To quote Eric Hoffer: "The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."
Start looking for anything (healthy) that makes you feel happy, abundant and aware of the ‘wealth’ you already have in your life. You get more of what you focus on, so the more you practise looking for moments of abundance - precious moments of joy - the more you will experience.

hello Bert,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and all here on the blog post too.
We have Thanksgiving here in Canada as well, but for some reason it is earlier? No idea why. We have family in the States as well. I have gratitude for all things, good and bad. Yes even the bad there are lessons to benifit from as well.
All the Best, Bert
Happy Thanksgiving, Burt & Everyone --
I joined the Gratitude Log website and love the idea of it but have not been disciplined enough to go to it every day, although I do express my gratitude every day or several times a day. I have so much to be grateful for!
Looking forward to Friday's "Dear Burt." I enjoy all of them and I enjoy seeing what you're painting, too! If you put enough blue in a painting I'm going to love it!
Peace, Love & Blissings to All,
Becky
Dear Burt
I wish to you and your family Happy Thanksgiving Day and a personal Thanks to you.
You have been an inspiration to me.
God bless you
George
Thank you Burt for your link and your video. Thank you for your lesson. You have a happy thanksgiving holiday.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving,
fina
Thank you, Burt, for sharing your thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
It is so true that being grateful changes one's perspective on a lot of life. Each of us have so much to be thankful for. Taking the time to reminisce every year about our countless blessings - esp. if we don't take the time to do it otherwise - is a very rewarding exercise. What better time than at Thanksgiving & the beginning of the Advent Season to give thanks for everything we are grateful for. It is the perfect preparation for Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving Burt!! Many thanks for the link to the gratitude blog and for all the help and support this year. Your paintings are beautiful and inspirational in that spirit desires to express and in that we are connected. Thank you for that reminder! You do it with such love and joy. Namaste

I have completed the 7 lessons and thank you very much. I read a lot anything to do with self improvement and the power of mind. I could see that I have met most of what I really wanted in here as to somewhere else. I like your advise very much, very practical and got that umphh. Now I would like a very specific advise from you sir i.e. after we have delivered our service(s) to customers.. what mingling in my mind is how can I collect my payment using meditation technique without me calling them to pay me (at all) instead they would willingly pay me? Thank you sir..
Thanks Burt - I think it's turned out great!
Dear Burt,
Thank you for the Thanksgiving email. I am looking forward to Friday's email.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving,
Diane
Just wanted to tell you that I am touched by your videos, your generosity in sharing things like your "Daisy Pond" etc. I love that you make yourself available to all of us and just wanted to send many thanks your way on this Thanksgiving day!
Dear Burt,
First of all let me thank you for the many useful techniques you've been teaching us in your most interesting videos. I use some of them and indeed get a great benefit from it.
There is one little thing I would like to ask you. It may sound trivia but it is not; at least for me.
I am losing my hair. I dont' want it to happen...I have been trying to fight it, but with little results. Since you have a gloriously full head of hair I was wandering if there is anything you do...some "secret" that could share with us.
Again Thank you
Tim
