Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It feels like one of the last holidays that hasn’t been taken over by mega-commercialization, though it could be easily argued that holiday shopping on black Friday has encroached on Thanksgiving.
In some respects it has been a trying year. Turbulence has been ever present in my work environment, on the political stage, and in the financial markets. It is pretty easy with the 24/7 onslaught of “information” to feel like everything is crashing down. So hurray for Thanksgiving, it’s a great time to look at all the things we have to be grateful for.
So here’s what I’m thankful for this year. For the priviledge of living in the Unites States of America. For a safe place to live. For food to eat. For a job. For health and health care. For the warmth of a loving family. Simple things, things that I sometimes complain about or don’t appreciate fully. Things that are too easily taken for granted. But not today. Today I’m counting my blessings. Happy Thanksgiving.
