[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother, a holocaust survivor, introduced a thanksgiving tradition like this on her therapist's recommendation. After she did the "Shoah" oral history project she became depressed and had trouble sleeping so she went to a counselor for the first time, which was far less common back then. The therapist recommended that she initiate this thankfulness exercise in a group and that she take up the sport that she'd loved before the war (swimming). It became a family tradition and she started swimming several hours per day, eventually becoming a swim instructor in her late sixties until she died in her 80s. Everyone has a reason for trying something like this. Instead of following your instinct to disrespect it, I recommend looking within yourself and making a sincere effort to find meaning in it. You might find that either the practice itself of this act of solidarity with your hostess is rewarding. [/quote]
