Thanks

Where there is life,
there is hope

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Today is the national day we give thanks for the multitude of good things in our lives: thanks for those who help us, thanks for the blessings of liberty, thanks for being alive and doing fairly well.

The Times ran a "Serving of Gratitude" this week which suggested,

“As a culture, we have lost a deep sense of gratefulness about the freedoms we enjoy, a lack of gratitude toward those who lost their lives in the fight for freedom, a lack of gratitude for all the material advantages we have,” he says. 'The focus of Thanksgiving should be a reflection of how our lives have been made so much more comfortable by the sacrifices of those who have come before us.'”

We are thankful this day for so many things, among them our good readers, with whom we may share one of our greatest blessings, that of freedom of speech.

May it ever be thus.
