Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing day. At least two young ladies at the gathering I attended on Thanksgiving have plans to get an early start on their shopping - beginning at midnight. I am not sure there is a gift that I want bad enough to go shopping at 5 or 6 in the morning, much less the Thanksgiving night or the night before. The idea has never appealed to me, and an incident Thursday night confirmed it. My wife had to have a cord for a new computer that a technician will work on early Friday. (No, it could not wait because she has an appointment). She had to go to one of the big name stores but could not go until 10 p.m. When she walked into the store she said there were people rushing up and down the aisles just grabbing things off the shelves, They were not stopping to exchange pleasantries. Not much joy. Just a lot of selfishness with a dash of rudeness. It makes you wonder if they know how boorish their actions are. Understand that I do not mean to imply that everyone who shopped late Thanksgiving night are rude and selfish. Only a few. Today's Winning Thought: It is pretty easy to be thankful on the last Thursday in November. It is almost a given. Will you be thankful the rest of the year?
