When was the last time you were thankful for something?

If it was sitting around a 30 pound stuffed bird, three variations of sweet potato casserole, and your Mom’s famous marshmallow salad recipe that has been served since 1987, I’d say it’s time to take a moment of appreciation.

Go ahead.

I’ll wait.

Can’t think of anything?

Finding things to be grateful for is as easy as reciting your ABC’s.
