To those Tipsters who still remain and who celebrate
the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving, Greetings to You and
Yours and that you actually spend some time today
reflecting upon what you have to be thankful for with the
realization that some people have more to be thankful
for than others, even the same person may have more
to be thankful for one year than in others.
It may also be appropriate to reflect on the history of
Thanksgiving which has had something of a checkered
past; see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)
But in the U.S. we are all about reinvention and second
chances, so some neutral or terrible things can become
opportunities for joyous celebration. Just remember that
Thanksgiving is not about gluttony or mindless consumerism
(don't see it as the starting point for "Black Friday/Cyber
Monday/Xmas sales").
And if you really have many things to be thankful for,
remember to do onto others who have less or none.
And be thankful that you can be helpful to others.
And remember: no political discussions. ;-)
Enjoy the day as best you can.
