It's almost heresy - on a day like this one - to question the idea of gratitude. But most of us - if we're honest - have an imperfect relationship with the concept and the practice. Read the full description.
It's Thanksgiving- a time of hospitality and good will- right? But not everyone feels the love- some people just get downright cranky. So, how about a reminder of the things that make you happy. Frank Faulk presents a piece he calls "I Thank Therefore I Am, I Think." It's about being grateful in spite of ourselves.
