Thankful For Puhhh
As Americans gather around family tables tomorrow, they will have to make a decision what they are going to be grateful and thankful for. AC 360 has an interesting take on things and puts it in a very “downbeat” way…
Gratitude despite thecrisis?This thanksgiving an abundance of families are going to be thinking, “What exactly do I have to be thankful for?†Thankful I still have my home, though it’s worth less than ever? Thankful I have the holiday off from my job, though I may not have a job shortly? Thankful I planned and saved for my future, though I am watching those savings dwindle on a daily basis? It certainly can seem difficult to mount a feeling of appreciation in the midst of evolving disaster. (AC 360° Blog)
After confronting the readers with the sad reality of world economy being in or heading towards a recession, psychiatristDr. Gail Saltz explains how to get gratitude (and joy?) out of the little things in life. Maybe this could be a lesson for each and everyone of us, not just Americans who are to celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Don’t you have these moments where you stop really shortly and think, “Wow XYZ is really cool. Look at it, it’s just amazing!”
Oh my goodness, yet another critical view of Thanksgiving. The Joy Of Tech’s “Thanksgiving… Pray for us” comic.

My floor and I made a board of all the things we’re thankful for… it’ll probably be up on Facebook soon :-P Check it out.
Cool, does it go into that direction?
Anyway, I’d be more than happy to link to it then :)

I think you can only view it if you’re a friend… if you really want to post it, though, I can email you the file. Although it’s kind of…well, let’s say risque and leave it at that :-P
Wait, it qualifies as risqué, so why the heck should it not be philsblogging.com material. (I didn’t produce it, right?)
The link brings you to something like that:
