Thanks On This Day and EVERY day!

Do you ever think about how lucky we are in this country? I do most every day. I do my share of complaining and nay saying but for the most part I am thankful. We are blessed to be able to complain without the risk of governmental retaliation although that line has been getting more blurry as time goes by with our current administration. That was an example of giving thanks and complaining all in the same sentence. Pretty impressive eh?

We are fortunate to be able to walk into our many various grocery stores all stocked to the gills with many products and purchase what we need and many times what we want which aren’t necessarily the same thing. We can step outside and take a walk without the fear of mortars or gunfire. So materialistically we are blessed in many parts of this country.

We are able to worship with freedom although perhaps that right is slowly being chipped away. In most places we are able to proudly state “In God We Trust”! We are also free to not worship at all. Just another freedom. We are all so guilty of complaining and tearing down this nation that we lose sight of the fact, at times, that we still live in the greatest nation on Earth.


The most important thing we need to realize, especially on this day, is how blessed we have been to have so many sacrifice so much for us to be able to enjoy these freedoms. So on this day remember to be thankful for all the veterans and their families that have given themselves to preserve what we do have. This is my way of saying thank you to all who have bravely served and to all that continue to do so. This is a day to take stock and I encourage you all to do just that!
