Being Thankful

In anticipation of Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, let me say that readers of this blog are likely to be thankful for the election just completed. Our great nation just took a step in the right direction, a step back from a precipice, a step of reaffirmation.

Warts and all, this intentional community of immigrant peoples is the envy of the world. We have done so many things right historically, even if it took a few years to finally get comfortable with all of them.

Our composite character is the result of cherry-picking the best parts of the many cultures from which we sprang. The resulting mix is uniquely American, uniquely good. 

Tomorrow let us celebrate the result. God or, if you prefer, good fortune has truly blessed America.
