Quotes of the Day for 24 November 2005 – Thanksgiving
Like most folks, I guess, I always want more stuff. I wish my health were better, I wish I were happier, I wish money grew on the trees outside my window. Today, Thanksgiving Day in the US, is a good time to put all that aside and realize how richly I am blessed.
