If you listen to people
talk these days--whether it be the media
pundits...friends...family...co-workers--One could easily get so cynical and
depressed you could be tempted to cancel Thanksgiving altogether. Except
for the holiday part of course. In the spirit of
full disclosure, yours truly has been just as guilty as anyone. After all we are constantly bombarded with bad news. The national debt
continues to climb by trillions of dollars and the great recession--if it is
getting better at all--is moving at a snail's pace. With all due
apologies for being politically incorrect to the snail population. After all,
they can't help being motionally challenged. Radical Islamists seem
determined to provoke a world war. This country is deeply divided
politically and can't even seem to get a budget passed.
Having said all
that...we still have plenty to be thankful for. Despite it all, this is
still the land of the free and home of the brave. Despite the efforts of
some to curb our freedom of religion, we still have the right to worship as we
please. Despite the fact that a growing number choose not to worship at
all...that is up to them...not the state. Compared to many countries we
are still relatively prosperous, though if we don't get our financial act
together that could change. But the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness and to worship as we choose is more than most of
the civilizations throughout history have enjoyed. But those rights
must carefully cherished and vigilantly guarded...and we are especially
thankful for our men and women in uniform willing to put their lives on the
line to protect them. We should be thankful for family, friends and all
those who make our lives better. Having lost...or come very close to
losing loved ones, co-workers, and long-time friends this year has made me
more thankful for them, for medical advances, and the gift of health and
healing.
The old adage about the
difference between a pessimist and an optimist is whether they see the
glass as being half full or half empty. This Thanksgiving, let's
concentrate on the positive half full glass. Every day is another
opportunity for blessings. Let's be thankful for that...and a lot
more.
I'm Jim Cameron--Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
