Thanks Giving Part Two

I hear that employees are being "forced to work on Thanksgiving" or risk being fired. Many are upset and venting their anger online. There was a link to an article about this on Yahoo but the article has been taken down, probably because it annoyed an advertiser.

Oh boo-hoo. Sorry but that's my take on this.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on how grateful we are for what we have.  It's a time for some introspection (something you can do alone and anywhere) and not just gluttony and festivities.  

A time to remember there are soldiers overseas, and police and fire and 911 dispatchers and hospital workers at their posts. 

A time to remember that 99% of the world would gladly trade places with you, living in America and employed.

It's a time to remember that it is the customers flooding into your store that allow you to have a paycheck and that the turkey and sweet potatoes and your family and friends will still be waiting for you when you get off work.

I'm for putting the "Thanks" back in Thanksgiving...
