On This Day of Thanks.

sechan19I have a couple of posts up my sleeve right now but neither seem truly appropriate for Thanksgiving Day. We're living in a scary world right now, as is readily evident from the recent (and still ongoing) attack in Mumbai, and it's hard not to slip into either flippancy (backup post one) or morbidity (backup post two) in order to cope. But for today, at least, I'm not going to do it.
The global economy is in crisis, and we all hang by the barest of threads (as--it could be argued--we always have). And yet for all that, I have many things for which to be thankful. I have a lively mind, a fulfilling career, wonderful friends, and the best family ever. Every day brings me experiences that enrich my life and make me aware of the fact that I could lose it all tomorrow and still be richer in memory than a queen in a palace.
And so today I give thanks. And today I choose to believe, in spite of everything, that there is still so much beauty available to us and that we can yet save it for future generations.
We will return you to your regularly scheduled flippant morbidity tomorrow. But in the meantime...
Blessed be, folks.
