The great humorist Will Rogers once said of Thanksgiving:
In the days of our founders, they were willing to give thanks for mighty little, for mighty little was all they expected. If they could gather in a few pumpkins, potatoes, and some corn for the winter, they were in a thankful mood.
Today we have mighty expectations even for the mundane. When you think about it, it's a bit of a miracle that we rarely give a thought as to who grows the pumpkins and corn, but we expect them to be there when we want them.
So, on Thanksgiving, give a thought to the mighty little expectations of the founders and count your blessings.
Have a great holiday!
