giving thanks

I don’t think Americans, as a society, would be described as a thankful group. Most people around the world think us arrogant bullies. We consume everything with a sense of entitlement. We expect the biggest and the best and we expect it immediately. We are such an ungrateful people that we must set aside a special day to collectively recognize our prosperity and give thanks for our many blessings.

So today, I read the Thanksgiving installment of “The Ladybug Letter.” I highly recommend this little blog by an American farmer. Here’s a link to today’s post, “A Taste for Panchamama.”

    Sometimes I think Americans are too hard on yourselves. You do a helluva lot of good in the world too.
