Thanksgiving: Ain't Just For Pilgrims Any More

You know, the pilgrims were probably brave and slightly crazy pioneers, but the more you learn about the history and subsequent demise of the Indians, the less cool the tall hats and tossing a fish into the corn stalks were. Not wanting to flush this holiday away due to my slightly aging cynicism, I instead decided to mutate Thanksgiving into a day of, well, thanksgiving. Simple rules of this day: no bitchin', no whining, no negativity. Rather, I remind myself, possibly 600 times throughout the day of the things I am grateful for. It's interesting that this takes a fair amount of effort, meaning I must be spending a lot of time the other 364 days complaining. Man! What's wrong wit' DAT picture?! So here's only one little sunbeam: WaHoo! I am finally blogging! Even if I am the only one to read this stuff, I have grown to enjoy writing (grateful #2), and this is an enjoyable forum. Happy Thanksgiving all, especially my family. What numerous things are you contemplating about on this day of thanks?
