What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

GRATITUDE

As holidays go, I like Thanksgiving quite a bit. It's not so much the big dinner but the notion of having just one day in which we stop and give thanks. We rush through our daily lives attempting to gain what we need or fix what bothers us but we rarely stop to consider the wonders we already possess.

Mark Twain once said that, at his lowest, most destitute point, he kept and cherished a single ten-cent piece. As long as he possessed that dime, he could never be considered penniless. This is the one day when you can stop and give thanks for whatever it is that keeps you going -- friends, family, career, possessions, attitudes or simple touchstones. Whether you have a lot or a little, be glad you've got it.
