ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Another Thanksgiving is upon us, and do you know what that means? It means we’re about a month away from New Year’s Day and a fresh set of resolutions.
Expressing more gratitude is an annual fixture on that list. At best, the act is done daily for feats as simple as waking up or arriving at destinations safely.
Other times, it comes into sharp, painful focus — such as when a 43-year-old cousin dies suddenly and your Thanksgiving plans now include driving eight hours on Black Friday to attend a Saturday funeral to mourn with her 17-year-old twin sons and other family members.
