Every day is Thanksgiving

When you reach a certain age, just waking up in the morning is such a blessing that every day is thanksgiving. When there are troubles all around you, your own troubles don't look so bad, which is another reason to give thanks. If you pay attention to Nature, whether storm or sun, you can be overwhelmed with a sense of being blessed. Who is it who said there is more truth in the grass than in the newspaper? Sounds like Thoreau but I'm not sure it was. At any rate, an astute declaration.
