With all the commercial hype it is easy to forget the meaning of Thanksgiving. While it started as a protestant religious holiday, Thanksgiving is truly nondenominational: all faiths have a tradition of giving thanks.
After all:
While the Pessimist believes that it can always get worst and the Optimist believes that it can always get better; the realist believes that both are true and that it is important to live in the present and celebrate the gifts of the moment.
Happy Thanksgiving.
