Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Every year in America, families across the USA celebrate this very important day in history by giving thanks. As it has fallen into being a tradition, families eat Turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and various other things that have come into being parts of a "TRADITIONAL" dinner. The day is meant to be a day spent with family and friends remarking on what has happened over the past year, eating good food, and telling what you are grateful for. Every year I find it to be harder and harder to say what I am thankful for. That is not because I am becoming less grateful for some of the small things that I have, but because when I explain what I am thankful for this year I want it to be meaningful and have an impact on the people at my table. In my family, when we sit down for dinner we go around the table and tell what we are grateful for. It is our family tradition to do that but not everyone's tradition. I have learned some traditions that other families have, and some of them strike me as being slightly odd. But overall in the world, things are not going very well so I ask what are you grateful for this year? Is it something that you thought you would be thankful for?
