Today is Thanksgiving, which – according to Wikipedia – is a “national holiday in Canada and the United States as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.”
But what if the preceding year has been tough? What if health issues, financial issues, and personal issues have been paramount? What if you’re exhausted, and the holiday season with its various activities looms?
Almost everyone I know has experienced set-backs in 2015. That’s not to say we can’t still be thankful for the harvest, but if some of us are not quite as cheery perhaps it’s because we’ve had a large dose of reality to swallow with our turkey and dressing.
This blog might mark me as a pessimist, but anyone who knows me knows I’m a glass-half-full sort of person. So how to turn this blog in that direction?
I am thankful that the year is almost over and that we all survived.
