We need to feel the Thanksgiving feeling all the time, not just at the holidays. My dad was one of those voices but in real life. "that and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee" was how he greeted my sister's field hockey trophy. <br /><br />Not me. I am thankful for all the good things that happen to me and I want to make sure I share them and not just the unfortunate things. Thanks for reminding me!

His mother tracked down the hero and said, "Are you the young man who saved my little boy from drowning in the icy pond?" <br /><br /> The young man modestly acknowledged his identity.<br /><br />"He had a hat!"<br /><br />Some people are often imbedded in their own assholes. When you hear that shitty little critical voice, it's just some asshole speaking.<br /><br />Other people have hearts big enough to look beyond their own needs and to address the needs of other. People like you. People like a fan who is sensitive enough to be moved by your truth, and to respond to it as it deserves. Yay AMY!
