Ahh.. Thanksgiving, that American holiday celebrated only in America by Americans, (also by Canadians but at a different time and different name) to remind us of the small things for which we “should” but not always “do” consider blessings.

So please remind ourselves that there are “thanks worth giving”.

Remind the conservatives who lost their place in congress to be thankful they don’t live in a third world country where losing an election means losing your head.

Remind the new citizens who complain about the summer heat that we don’t have tornados, hurricanes or snow to shovel.

Remind the workers who gripe about their shift, employee’s cafeteria and tips that they have a job.

Remind those of us who complain about the traffic and the price of gas that we have a car.
