We have much to be grateful for, whether times are good or bad. whether you agree with politics or not, whether everything in your personal life is calm or stormy. To be alive...even if that is the only thing that seems okay right now, just that is worth being grateful for. Remember: even in the worst of times, there is always hope. On this Thanksgiving, spend time giving back. You'll never regret it.--Ms. K
