I’m feeling especially grateful for a lot of things this year…
The people I work with…
My family – everyone I love is alive and well…
My friends – I have a great network of friends and we can be honest with each other through ups and downs…
That’s very important for me.
Those of you who know me know I’m a historian, with a focus on ancient history.
And I always understood ancient Roman and Greek history – but one of the areas in Western civilization I never really understood was ancient Egypt.
But then I was reading a book a couple years back and stumbled upon a poem found in a tomb dated to 2100 BC – 4,000 years ago.
The poem is called “Song of the Harper.”
It’s about gratitude.
And I think it’s as relevant today as it was 4,000 years ago.
So I’d like to share it with you. Because this poem started to get me into ancient Egypt.
Be of good cheer.
Forgetfulness is advantageous to you.
Follow your heart’s desire all your life.
Anoint your head with myrrh.
Clothe yourself in fine linen.
Do things while you are here on earth.
Do not grieve until the day of lamentation overtakes you.
Enjoy life, and do not grow weary of it.
No one takes his possessions out of this life,
And no one who has departed returns.
I thought that was a terrific poem found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.
It really speaks to being grateful – staying in the moment, staying present.
Because let’s face it – the average American lives to 77, 78 years old.
The average human life has one tragedy – you know a heartbreak, financial distress, death, once every so many years. It’s the math of life – these things happen.
So I think to myself, I just want to enjoy the times when I’m not going through one of those, and then when one of those hits, just to deal with it, absorb it and move on with it.
So this Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks to all of you who give us this five-ish minutes of your day.
I am immensely grateful to you – truly – to allow me to experiment and do these videos for you.
You know, I am very uncomfortable on camera, putting myself out there, and the feedback so many of you have given has been very encouraging.
Thank you.
