Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is coming, and I sincerely hope that everyone has a family to eat with. I think this is a great time nationally. I've wondered at times why exactly we have holidays. What I mean is, why do we only have one time in the year where people want to be giving, or thankful? Shouldn't we be this way all year? Over the years I've come to view these times not as the one time in the year I will be grateful or giving, but more as a sort of reset. A reminder to re-orient my thinking for the next year. That being said, I want to devote this post exclusively to thankfulness and everything we have to be grateful for. Especially as we've just come off the heels of a tumultuous election cycle.
