Thanksgiving

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Today America celebrates Thanksgiving. A good day to remember what we have to be thankful for and to express that gratitude. The Wall Street Journal helps us out by listing 20 advances for which to be thankful. 27% fewer children died around the world in 2007 prior to their 5th birthday, compared with 1990. Hip fractures in elderly are down nearly 30% in the U.S. and Canada since 1985 for reasons not fully understood. The longer you live, the happier you are likely to be according to research by American Psychological Association.

We have so many things for which to be thankful: good friends, freedom, a sense of meaning to name a few.
