the freedom to choose
the freedom to lead
the ability to learn
the joy of family, pets and friends
the pain of hardship, failure and loss
the people who care enough to teach well
the people which persisted through failure to bring us the conveniences, technology and tools available to us
the pioneers which dared to explore new places and develop cultures to make lives better
the people who soldiered and stood fast merely to preserve a belief in the freedom of choice
And thank you for the countless others which do the hard work of making things better despite the system and odds against them...you know who you are.
Happy Thanksgiving
