I’ve tried a couple times in the past years to reflect on Thanksgiving, this time I didn’t really know what to say. I’ll leave you with a couple articles I’ve read that I found encouraging.

• Thanksgiving: A Native American View

• Angst-giving

• The Trouble with Thanksgiving

• No Thanks to Thanksgiving

• (mine ‘06) Who’s Giving Thanks?

• (mine ‘07) National Day of Mourning

My only thought this thanksgiving is that I’m going to try and eat a proper amount for myself. Not too much. If there is any way that I could start this holiday season properly it’s to avoid gluttony and keep in mind so many in the world who don’t have enough.
