Thanksgiving is a time for reflection. Wasn't it Socrates (or his student Plato?) who said, "The unexamined life isn't worth living?" I think that is so.
Now, I don't have a Pollyannish life, not by any standard, but it's pretty darn good. That doesn't mean I don't have any regrets (I have surprisingly many of them!), but I am grateful for all that I do have. Life is, well, pretty darn good.
I hope more and more people have reasons to be thankful today. I hope more and more people reflect. I hope that reflection isn't just on themselves and today, but the future of our children and grandchildren. I hope that they are thankful for what they are leaving behind, too. And, if they aren't, that they work to make their legacies something good.
Happy Thanksgiving! (What time do the Lions and Packers play?)
