I’ve been listening to comedians and talk show hosts talk about Thanksgiving this week and everything that comes with it: turkey, hours of cooking, guests, Black Friday. Maybe a family squabble?

But some people may feel they don’t have any reason to give thanks. Be encouraged. There’s always a reason. Adopt an attitude of gratitude.

You can call me optimistic but I do believe that when we express gratitude great things happen, big and small.

Give thanks today and everyday.

And remember, miracles are never small.

Happy Thanksgiving!
