I wish for more this Thanksgiving. More time with those near and dear to me. More love and friendship. More peace. More of all that money cannot buy. I also wish for less. Less of the excesses. Less hate. Less waste. Less war.
Thanksgiving is decidedly bittersweet, both individually and collectively. Personally, even as it brings us together and reminds us of the good times, it is also an occasion to remember the ones we have lost. Collectively, even as many of us in North America celebrate the occasion, for native American Indians it is not a time of joy. Helping educate the indigeneous, such as through the American Indian College Fund, is one way we can make amends.
