Giving thanks.

That thing we do once a year

and then go about taking everything and everyone for granted all over again.

And at times, depending on where you are standing in the world,

when you look about it may be difficult to find things to be thankful for.

So here are a few starters…

Be thankful for friends and/or family!

Unless you haven’t got such folks in which case…

Be thankful for your good health!

Unless yours happens to be failing you in which case…

Be thankful for sunny days!

Unless you are in a drought in which case…

Be thankful for rainy days!

Unless you live in a flood plain in which case…

Be thankful that we are all at least safe from immediate danger

Unless we aren’t in which case, can I hide with you?

But the point is,

humans have been surviving for as long as there have been humans on the planet.

And if there is one thing we should all be thankful for this year…

It is that we humans are a resilient bunch of hairless apes.

That no matter what feast or famine of good times or bad are thrown our way.

We eventually make it to the other side.

And nowhere is the metal of our resolve or the determination of will and fierce glint of persistence in the eyes of humanity more blindingly apparent than right here on…
