Embracing Gratitude: There is Always Something to Be Thankful For

In this season of giving thanks, we often find ourselves reflecting on the many blessings in our lives. The true spirit of Thanksgiving encourages the conscious expression of gratitude. Its focus is spending time with those that we love and encourages giving back in a meaningful way. Ambition, competition and slaying goals can be healthy; however, placing importance on being present, enjoying the ride and appreciating those who have helped us along in our journey, is often what truly matters. True contentment comes from within and from fulfilling who we were made to be.

Our November issue is dedicated to stories of gathering, gratefulness and giving back to our community. We reached out to Pastor Alina Gayeuski of Media’s Reformations Lutheran Church for reflection on the abundance, gratitude and goodness that surrounds us.

Another reason to be thankful is all the local options to enhance the lives of children. We took a moment to share 10 resources for children. From athletics to theatre, we found no shortage of activities. As a matter of fact, we had a hard time pairing it down to just 10.

Media, and Delaware County has a whole is a community with a cause. We learned from the DELCO GIVES initiative that we have well over 200 non-profits that speak to every heart. Our list of local philanthropy is just a small sampling.

For many of us, Iron Eyes Cody, the ''Crying Indian,'' whose tearful face in 1970s TV commercials ingrained Keep America Beautiful, started us on the road to recycling. National Recycling Day is this month and we wanted to remind you that recycling is an ever present part of our lives and an impact we can each make.

I’m a fan of Members’ Wealth CEO, Dane Czaplicki’s, and his regular email post. Many of which are stories of reflection and life’s wisdom, not hedge fund investing. So we asked him to chime in this month with his thoughts.

Lastly, without a doubt, we’re thankful for food & drink. So check out local Indian Orchard’s reason to love organic fresh apple cider with our cider and bourbon recipe, plus our fall dip-giving ideas.

This holiday season as we prepare to gather with our loved ones, and in the true spirit of thanksgiving, let’s set time aside to consider what truly makes life meaningful and stop to reflect on those blessings.

One of my many blessings is you, the readers. I thank you.

Goodness Surrounds Us

The Wonder of Gratitude is One of the Greatest Gifts of our Human Experience

Maureen Hagan and her children at Rose Tree Park Playground

One of the things I love most about my thankful tradition is the familiarity of the liturgy. The same words that I spoke in worship as a child are still part of my weekly rituals now. And the final message, the words that are to carry me from one Sunday to the next, is one of thanksgiving.

While gratitude is a central part of my life because of my faith, I also realize it is an important part of what it means to be human. I often wonder what it would mean if thanksgiving carried all of us from one moment to the next, one day to the next, one expression of gratitude to the next.

One of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver, offers this guidance: “Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Her words strike me in both their simplicity and their depth. And perhaps these words provide a way to consider how thanksgiving can carry us through all of our days, inviting us to a life of gratitude.

Kathryn Hall and her children at Media Farmer's Market
Pastor

Pay attention. Moments of grace and love are often easy for us to miss. We can all too easily have our schedules and our commitments consume our attention. A life filled with gratitude is one where we start by noticing the richness and fullness of all that surrounds us each day.

Believe it or not, one of the places I see this most tangibly is during early morning stops for coffee at Wawa. People intentionally wait to hold doors and thank those who have paused while waiting for their entry or exit from the store. It is the fullness of our humanity on display in the small glass vestibule of a convenience store as people notice each other, help each other, and give thanks. Recognizing the gifts that surround us can be as simple (and essential!) as our morning cup of coffee.

Be astonished. The wonder of gratitude is one of the greatest gifts of our human experience. We have the capacity to understand moments when “thank you” is insufficient and to hold hearts filled to overflowing with gratitude in our beings. This wonderment has the capacity to inspire us as much as it can be a balm to us in the places of our lives that need to be healed.

I don’t mean this in a thankfulness-will-overcome-terrible-things type of way. I do not believe that we should use gratitude as a means of trying to cover over the challenging, painful parts of life. No amount of thankfulness will lessen the difficult parts of life or even make them hurt less, but it can carry us through. It can be what gets us unstuck from the things

“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”
- Poet Mary Oliver

that could otherwise consume us. It is not about a life that is either blessings or hardships, it is recognizing that both of those things will always be true. It means knowing that we have the capacity to hold and experience everything in life - including the joy of grateful hearts.

Tell about it. Giving thanks recognizes that there are things beyond our own selves. That there is a web of life and relationships that we are caught up in. And yet, this might be the hardest part of a life of thanksgiving as it requires a vulnerability and a trust that are not always easily found.

But like all things, the best way to begin is to start small. Record daily gratitudes in a journal. Text a friend. Chat with a neighbor. Call a relative. We do not need to engage in a giant platform, calling out all the good we might have encountered. The small and steady collection of moments and the opportunities to share them in meaningful ways surround us everyday. A life of gratitude is a lifelong journey.

And with that, we turn our eyes back to the beginning - to the invitation to pay attention. To start from that point of recognition of the goodness that surrounds us and the moments that fill us as we move from this day to the next. This is what it means to live and move in a life of gratitude, and to allow our thankfulness to carry us all the days of our lives.

It is the final moments of the weekly worship service at the congregation where I serve as a pastor. The final hymn starts and the worship leaders process out of the sanctuary. As the music ends the final words of our Sunday liturgy are spoken: “Go in peace. Serve the Lord. Thanks be to God!”

COMING Full CIRCLE

As Thanksgiving approaches, it is natural to reflect on what shapes our lives and for those of us in Delaware County, PA—aka DELCO—the places and traditions here often top the list. This season is not just about celebrating family and friends; it is also about honoring towns and communities that have made an indelible mark on generations of families.

For many who live in DELCO, it is more than just a geographic region—it is a place where stories are passed down, memories are made, and roots are deepened. DELCO has been a home to countless families for decades, each with their own stories and experiences, but all sharing a sense of connection to this vibrant community.

For many DELCO natives, their DELCO roots run deep as their parents and grandparents grew up here as well.  Growing up, we heard countless stories of life dating back to well before we were born. We have shared memories of familiar burger places like Charlie’s and Zac’s and favorite breakfast spots like Nifty Fifty’s in Ridley and the Court Diner in Media.

Our “Mom Moms and Pop Pops”, told stories of roller-skating down MacDade Boulevard before it allowed cars and reminisced about watering (“woodering”) holes along Crum Creek on the Blue Route corridor before the highway. These stories, and more, are part of the DELCO legacy.

As kids we pushed the boundaries of where we were allowed to wander, venturing beyond our parents specific guidelines and checking in with our parents on a payphone. Now, our children bike and walk the same streets, sneak past their boundaries, and share in the same traditions we did (minus the payphones!). Although a lot has changed over the years, it still feels like everything has come full circle.

DELCO county seat Media has a slogan, “Everybody’s Hometown.”

This resonates with so many of us who have found a sense of belonging here. It’s a welcoming place, where people know each other’s names, and new faces are greeted with warmth. In a world that can often feel divided, Media stands out for its inclusiveness and the strength of its community bonds. Whether enjoying a cup of coffee at a local spot like Ocean City Coffee or Cafésphere, or picking up holiday chocolates at Bevans Candy, there is a real sense of connection to the people and businesses that make this town special. And while our Mom Moms and Pop Pops did not have DELCO born Wawa convenience stores when they were kids, they are game on for Wawa now!

This community is about being part of something larger, working with local professionals, supporting small businesses, opening new businesses. There is something deeply fulfilling about

supporting or running a business in the heart of the county that has given our families so much.

The movement to brand DELCO has allowed us to reconnect with the values of community and family, offering a sense of balance that we did not realize we needed until we all wore DELCO on a hat, t-shirt or bumper sticker. This Thanksgiving, let us be especially grateful for “Everybody’s Hometown” and “DELCO”. A place where the past, present, and future come together, where families grow, and roots deepen.

America Recycles Day Is Here!

CREATE A HEALTHIER PLANET FOR OURSELVES AND FUTURE GENERATIONS

America Recycles Day is celebrated every year on November 15. It’s a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of recycling, and it’s an ideal time for Media residents and businesses to reflect on their recycling habits. Pennsylvania has a long history of recycling, beginning with our state’s passing of Act 101 in 1988, which established the most extensive recycling programs in America at the time. Today, recycling is a $22.6 billion industry in Pennsylvania alone. However, there’s still work to be done—as of 2021, Pennsylvania only ranks #23 out of 50 states for recycling, according to Ball’s 50 States of Recycling infographic. Media Borough does its part, with an impressive 70% recycling participation rate!

According to Recycling Compliance expert Tracie Chu, implementing recycling programs and reducing waste can lead to significant economic benefits. Recycling can lower disposal costs, improve operational efficiency, and even create new revenue streams from recyclable materials. Businesses that embrace sustainability contribute to the local economy and build stronger relationships with customers who value eco-friendly practices.

Chu says that individuals also play a vital role in reducing waste and recycling. She says, “We can pay careful attention to each part of our decision-making process. Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Rot, and Research; the goal is to produce as little waste as possible to create a fully circular economy. Land is a finite resource. Landfills become unusable because they are contaminated.” Simple actions like recycling paper, plastics, and metals, composting organic waste, and cutting down on single-use items can

Implementing recycling programs and reducing waste can lead to significant economic benefits. Recycling can lower disposal costs, improve operational efficiency and create local revenue streams.  Composting reduces household waste by an additional 30% and turns food waste into valuable compost that enriches the soil for new food production.

reduce the community’s carbon footprint. Media’s recycling and yard waste programs alone significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve natural resources, and divert 30% of waste from landfills and incinerators.

Media also has a Food Compost Program that everyone can participate in. Composting reduces household waste by an additional 30% and turns food waste into valuable compost that enriches the soil for new food production. “Composting organic food waste is important too. When food waste goes straight to landfill, it creates methane gas, which is at least 82 times more harmful than CO2. Without proper treatment, burying food waste and organic matter leads to anaerobic decomposition which produces methane. Composting is an aerobic process, which, in comparison, creates more CO2 and less methane gas,” Chu further explains.

45-Gallon Recycling Bins are available for Media Borough Residents at the Borough Hall.

As America Recycles Day approaches in November, it’s a perfect time for the Media community to recommit to recycling and waste reduction. We can ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations and preserve Media’s unique character and economic health.

As the leaves turn golden and the chill of autumn settles in, our thoughts naturally shift to the spirit of the season—gratitude, togetherness, and generosity. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings and consider how we can share our good fortune with others. This year, more than ever, our community needs your support.

Media, PA, is not just a place on the map. It is a compassionate and lively community where neighbors look out for one another and lend a helping hand when it is needed. From providing essential services to enriching our cultural life, these local non-profits play a vital role in making Media a place we’re all proud to call home. These organizations work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to support our children, rescue animals, and uplift those facing difficult challenges.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Together, we can ensure that these non-profits continue to thrive and provide the essential services and programs that so many in our community depend on.

APPLE CIDER AND BOURBON

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Fall is a great time for warm apple cider with a twist

Warm apple cider is a perfect cocktail to warm you up and cuddle with a nice comfy drink.

The publisher and I have a long time friend and her husband who own an apple orchard right in Media. Gaile and Ben at Indian Orchards Farm offer tours, education and organic apples and, of course, apple cider (and other fruit in season.) Now five generations in, the family lovingly tends every tree, bush, and fruit by hand.

Ingredients

• 2 parts apple cider

• 1 part bourbon whiskey (Jack Daniel’s is the publisher’s favorite.)

• Splash of ginger juice (amazon.com/ Ginger-People-Organic-Juice-Pack)

• Optional:  A couple drops of orange bitters (Angostura Bitters Orange)

• Do not boil

• Apple slices and a cinnamon stick for garnish

• And if you like anise, it adds to the inviting drink

This recipe is also great over ice without heating.
