I’m most thankful this year for things that didn’t happen, including the following:
- Sure, my house was flooded by storm surge during Ian. But I’m not living in an RV or a tent, and I wasn’t there to experience the disaster in person. It could have been a lot worse.
- Rebuilding will be expensive, but I have insurance, so I won’t have to pay for it out of my own pocket.
- It may be cold here, but at least I don’t have to drive or fly anywhere for the holiday.
- The GOP might have won a tiny majority in the House, but they didn’t win the Senate, and the most prominent 2020 election deniers lost.
- The USMT might have blown a lead against Wales, but things aren’t so bad; I could be a fan of Germany or Argentina.
And so on. Happy Thanksgiving!
