It is sometimes hard, I think, to hold both the good and bad in the world in your mind at the same time, and so we pick times to focus on each. Thanksgiving, obviously, is one of the positive ones. There is much in my life that I am thankful for — friends near and far; family (unfortunately, largely far); a growing relationship with much promise; a home, neighborhood and city I enjoy; lots of fun projects to keep me engaged and busy; a job that that similarly engages; and plenty of potential for more to come on all fronts.

Happy Thanksgiving, Internets!
