It's important on this Thanksgiving night, as it should always be important, to think about others and what they have to be thankful for. It's pretty common for people to be thankful for their friends and family, but there are some people who don't even have that to be thankful for. It might be a place to sleep, or a warm meal, or a smile from a passing stranger. The fact that I'm typing this and that you're now reading this means that you and I are better off tonight than a lot of people, and it's important to be aware of that and to keep that in mind.
That being said, it's still important to be thankful ourselves after Thanksgiving. The holiday dictates us to be thankful today, and maybe for the couple of days before and after Thanksgiving, but similar to New Year's resolutions, it's important to be thankful every day. Keep these in mind as you spend your Thanksgiving weekend with family, and always find a place to be thankful and appreciative.
