Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to reflect and appreciate all the things we have. For most of us, we have much. As you spend time with friends and family on this holiday, take time to think about all the things you have, much of which came from the hard work of others.
The comfort you live in today, your home, your heating, your plumbed-in water, your power-on-demand to run appliances to do work for you, the internet, which puts information at your fingertips, like a modern-day Library of Alexandria, are all the result of advances in human knowledge. (Thanks, Romans!)
Our health is due in a great extent to the progress in modern medicine from the research done by huge numbers of people over the last hundred or so years, and beginning much earlier.
We are standing on the shoulders of giants, and we are enjoying the comforts of this position.
For this, we should be Thankful...
