Being Thankful . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Brett Blair,

  "Our ancestors were not so much thankful for something as they were thankful in something. In bounty or in want they were thankful. In feast or in famine they were thankful. In joy or in misery they were thankful. There is a big difference between being thankful for things and being thankful in all things."

"‘I must do something’ will solve more problems than to say ‘Something must be done.’"    (Anon)
