Happy Thanksgiving America. In a time of economic uncertainty and hardship for so many, in a time of ongoing wars and threats of terror, it would seem like a hard time to be thankful for anything. But at times like these it is even more important to count our blessings and remember what good things we have in our lives; friends, family, freedom, those who willingly defend it for us, opportunity, God (for those of us so inclined), football, turkey, water, the Constitution, the American dream, the lessons of history, living in a bountiful nation and so many more things.
Thanksgiving is not just a day off, it is a time to reflect on things that can carry you through the hard times if you are experiencing them, or that are shielding you from those hardships if you aren't experiencing them.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I think I speak for all Americans when I say, "Thanks, dude."
ReplyDeleteSeriously, thank you very much for the kind words.
They are absolutely meant. I think it's important that people remember their blessings. Unfortunately they are often too easy to forget.
