We'll be looking back not at a single year, we'll have to summarize a thousand years, and look forward a thousand years. A heavy responsibility. No such problem this Thanksgiving, no weighty pronouncements today, that's the first thing to be thankful for. Hey it's a 'lite' year. Seems to be a happy time.
Thanksgiving is about giving thanks.
Properly done, Thanksgiving is also about giving people a break. Loosen the ties, cut some slack. No one's perfect, even on a major holiday. Especially not on a major holiday. I'm already gorging myself with my best friends today, and I thought I wouldn't write this morning, but I was mistaken.
