Man, have we been lucky. Stephanie and I both have great families that regardless if we are hosting family gatherings or going to them, it is something we look forward to. Everyone pitches in and often times with more than one food dish, serving plate, or whatever else it may be that will make for a great family time. In life, your family is so much of who you are and to know that their is a support system on both sides of the aisle is rare.
What is also important on this Thanksgiving is to never forget that there are people less fortunate. Untold millions don't know where they are going to sleep or get their next meal. Donating money is important but being able to spend your time helping others, where the person affected sees your face, is where putting others first is in it's most true form. Not for recognition, but to let a stranger know that there are still people who care.
Always be thankful for what you have.
