We’re all so controlled and engulfed in our daily routines and responsibilities that we have made it tradition to set aside a day to remember to give thanks to that which we are thankful for. Yes, I know that’s not the true meaning of celebrating this day. That’s kind of my point.

Couldn’t we just be thankful when appropriate? Do we have to really require an annual reminder to give thanks and give back and (if possible) smile at this opportunity to be alive?

This is the epitome of cynicism… bashing Thanksgiving.
