Others seem to have very little, yet they man age to be grateful for what they have. So the true spirit of thankfulness is not dependent on what a person has to be thankful for. Rather, it is a matter of the person’s nature. Either he is one who is naturally appreciative, or he is selfish and ungrateful. Most young folks have plenty to be thankful for, even those who seem un fortunate in many ways. And it doesn’t do anybody any harm to stop once in a while and "count your blessings.” That’s what Thanksgiving is for. It’s a good time to think how lucky you are in many ways.

If you do that, Thanksgiving Day will mean more to you than just a chance to fill up on turkey and pump kin pie.
