Gobble Up Gratitude: A Thanksgiving Tale, Where Forgiveness Prevails, and Hearts Set Sail.

October 31, 2025 by Cassandra Toppi

Thanksgiving’s here, a time of cheer,
A feast of thanks, so warm and dear.
In New York City, where I reside,
The lights are bright, and hearts open wide.
As we gather ’round the table spread,
With turkey, stuffing, and pies ahead.
Let’s pause a moment, take a deep breath,
And think of forgiveness, as a path to life’s steps.

Forgiveness, you see, is not just for them,
It’s a healing balm, a soothing calm.
Forgiveness can be a precious shift,
Embrace it as a possible gift!
Let go of the grudges, the hurt, the pain,
And feel the sunshine instead of the rain.
Release the past and what remains,
Embrace the joy, let love sustain.

Forgiveness is a thing that comes from you,
It lights the path and makes the old anew.
No need to yell, or say farewell,
Here’s a secret, you might not know,
Forgiveness is something you don’t have to tell.
In hearts, that start to mend,
A possible journey of peace,
where love has no end.
It lightens the soul, lifts burdens away,
A gentle embrace at the end of the day.

In the hustle and bustle of NYC’s streets,
Where busy lives and fast pace meets,
There’s a lesson to learn, a change to embrace,
Forgiveness for peace, a loving space.
Forgiveness, a shift in all of us,
It heals our hearts and gives a gift.

Forgiveness, a shift for all to see,
It mends our hearts and sets our spirits free.
Releasing burdens, we rise above,
Embracing peace and spreading love.
It’s not about saying, “You’re right, I’m wrong,”
It’s about finding peace and growing strong.
What I’m thinking is freeing your heart,
That freeing feeling is where you might start.

For when you forgive, you set yourself free,
To live in the moment, to truly be.
This Thanksgiving, as you raise your glass
Think of the future, not the past.
Invite the change, let go of the clash,
For forgiveness is key to a happier path.

With gratitude and love, your heart will sing,
As you discover the joy that forgiveness can bring.
Gobble up gratitude, let kindness flow,
Watch your well-being and happiness grow.

This doesn’t mean be blind or proceed without care,
Approach with caution when that person is near.
When you can let go of the wrongs done in your view,
You and your family might find blessings ensue!

I know this ask might be tall and hard,
For me too this reminder could appear really charred.
How I help myself through this thought you might ask?
I remind myself that MY feels are my feelings and are not facts.

During the Holiday Season remember to rest, 
Sleep calms the beast, brings out your best.
Sleep is good, sleep is great,
For sleeping creates a place coming from grace.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all,
May your hearts be light, and your burdens small.
In the spirit of change, let’s start anew,
With forgiveness and love, in all that we do.

Finding peace on challenging sides,
With strategies, support, and self-care at all times.
