Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Although Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been celebrated as a secular holiday as well. Whatever way you conceive of “giving thanks,” it is a time to be thankful and to remember and embrace those who enrich our lives. Remember, too, that no matter how difficult our lives may feel or how tragic or divisive the world may seem at times, we can always find something for which we can be thankful. Wishing you hope, joy, peace, good health, and love this Thanksgiving and throughout the coming holiday season. ■
