I imagine everyone was expecting an issue about giving thanks on
Thanksgiving Day. I deliberately didn't send such an issue.

Why?

Didn't you wake up THIS morning?

Can't you see this print NOW?

Don't you hear the sounds around you NOW?

Isn't your electricity on NOW?

Aren't you warm NOW?

Aren't you breathing NOW?

Won't you eat TODAY?

Thanksgiving Day is a great idea but it shouldn't be just a day,
it should be an attitude.

I am more thankful for today than I was for yesterday.
You see, I've got an "AND ONE."

This is the year "two thousand AND FIVE."
Next year will be "two thousand AND SIX."

We have been granted one more year, an "AND ONE."
Today is one more day than yesterday. It is an "AND ONE."
The breath you are taking now is one more than the last one.

We shouldn't wait until we are in our 90's to be thankful for
each additional day. I am thankful for each of them now and
especially, the "AND ONE."

If you spend only one day a year giving thanks you are missing
out on 364 gifts a year.

We should have Complaining Day instead of Thanksgiving Day.

We should spend one day each year complaining and griping about
the things wrong in our world. On that day we would complain
about everything and everyone that we had problems with.

Halloween would be a good day for that. We could all turn into
monsters for just one day instead of acting and feeling ugly
most of the year.

Often, we spend 364 days a year complaining and one day giving
thanks. We should give thanks at least 364 days a year.

That's what I do now. I don't wait until Thanksgiving Day.
I have Thanksgiving all year long and I'm working on Halloween.
I'd like to get rid of the one unthankful day that I have.

Saying thanks each day does more than acknowledge the giver,
it makes you realize the gift.

I give thanks now for tomorrow,
for it will be even more of a miracle than today,
or yesterday.

So Happy Thanksgiving Day. Today!
