It's the time we set aside to reflect on all the things we are so fortunate to have -- as Americans and as members of the human race.
No matter how difficult the economic times, there are always things for which we can be thankful. Indeed, difficult economic times often highlight those things in our lives that can go underappreciated or unappreciated altogether when times are good and the living is easy.
Here's a link to my column from last Thanksgiving, which discusses some of the things for which we can give thanks, including a lot of things we Americans routinely take for granted.
And here is a link to one of my favorite columns by pundit Rich Galen, a piece in which he details an exchange he happened to have with a little girl during the course of a mundane task in an ordinary day. But the exchange was anything but ordinary. It is fantastic. I hope you'll take the time to read it.
We all have things that are "rainbow shiny" in our lives. Let us reflect on, and give thanks for, those things more often -- not just on Thanksgiving, but throughout our everydays.
