See You Next Tuesday: Vol I., No. Eight

On impulse shopping, surviving family time, doing laundry, and more.

This week is about thanks-giving. I admit, gratitude is not something I practice regularly. While I appreciate the importance of being grateful, I find that constantly reminding people (let’s be honest, women) that they should be grateful and express that gratitude publicly and often is just another way of controlling their thoughts and emotions. A 21st Century version of “Oh, you have complaints, well, let me tell you about the starving children in Rhodesia!”

But once a year, on Thanksgiving, I am happy to count my blessings. Especially after this week brought me to my knees.
