It's sad that it takes a government-spawned holiday for any of us to think about that for which we're thankful; nevertheless, the day at least gets us to thinking about those blessings, both big and small, that make our life meaningful.
In my own life, I have a rather commonplace list of things I'm thankful for: family, faith, and fortune (however meager the ultimate may be). Specifically this year, however, I am thankful to feel thankful. That is, in recent years past, I have known rationally that I am to be thankful but have not really felt it. Spouting thankfulness seemed mechanical, compulsory even; but this year is different. I do feel thankful! The emotions linger and may eventually even turn maudlin, but before that happens, let me just say that I am great with gratefulness for a year that has confirmed my calling in life and for those who have helped me discover that confirmation.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
