thanx dood.

Thanksgiving… What an interesting holiday. My little sister brought up kind of a funny interpretation in a conversation we had the other night. In her family they say thank-yous around the dinner table every night, much the same way many families say prayers or grace or whatever. She thought it was funny that there was a holiday where pretty much most of America stops and worships the way she does. It kind of made us both chuckle.

I appreciate graciousness. I like the way there is a holiday dedicated to manners. I like it when little kids say thank you when I give them their hot chocolates or cookies at work. I like it when people thank me for doing a good job or whatever. I am pretty sure most people like to hear thank you as well. It is my goal to turn this next year into Thanksgiving year as opposed to just having a thanksgiving day. I will not gorge myself sick every day, but I will be thankful every day. I think I will start with a gratitude list, like my sister. Funny.
