My wish for each reader today is a day filled with good times, good food and an attitude of gratitude as we celebrate Thanksgiving.

Those of us fortunate enough to be born in the United States, we are so blessed when compared with the vast majority of the world’s inhabitants. Please remember that we enjoy a standard of living and personal freedoms beyond the dreams of people living elsewhere, particularly in the Third World. Can it be better, yes, but let’s be grateful for how good it is and count our multitude of blessings.
