It's Thanksgiving Day in the United States.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.

— George Eliot

Sure, there's always something to complain about, but on the whole, the good in my life overwhelmingly outweighs the could-be-better. In the grand scheme of things, there's not really any bad to speak of. And there's plenty around these days to remind us what bad really means.

I am thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and yours, no matter where you live.
