Thought for the Day

"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."  (William James)

Something to keep in mind as you gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving.

  • It may be wise to overlook the undercooked turkey (as long as it's not in salmonella territory)
  • It may be wise to overlook someone else's outrageous political remarks at the dinner table.  Just. Let. It. Go.
  • It may be wise to overlook a relative who eats way too much -- or way too little.
  • It may be wise to overlook the childrens' bedtimes, just this once.
  • It may be wise to overlook all the petty irritations that would normally irritate you, pettily.

But don't overlook your blessings!  Never!

Count your blessings, each and every one.  And give thanks!
