Thanksgiving is a good holiday. It is good not from the perspective of past history, but of today leading to tomorrow.

Talk of Pilgrims and Indigenous people is to talk of a past no one alive really cares about unless it can be used as power in dialogue designed to fit an agenda.

The word, thanks, speaks for itself. As does the word, giving. Put the two words together and Holiday or not, is a wonderful creation.

To give thanks is important, Holiday or not. To give thanks is to acknowledge a blessing, a joy, a statement to recognize that received.

Everyone has something to be thankful for. For such as what I am, there is much to be thankful for. To learn of an emotion called love. To experience hate and how it is to be dealt with. To learn so much about a world we call, here. To be able to teach those willing to learn. For me, there is much more to be thankful for than to regret.

I have no regrets as that which some would regret is what I call learning. Experience. Knowledge. And in that, thanks is given.

This weekend is the first four days in a row that I’ve had off in literally, years. It was wonderful with the exception of going to see a new Disney movie titled, Nutcracker. But even in that I give thanks that I know what good directing is, what a good plot and acting is.  Nutcracker directors, producers, actors, and Disney should give thanks anyone is gullible to go see such poor examples of what could have been much better.

And there you have it. Another Thanksgiving past while many days to give thanks everyday remain, as long as there is breath.
