Week 12

I love Thanksgiving. Sure, you don’t get any presents, but you don’t have to buy any, either. All you do (or at least all I do) is chill, peel potatoes, drink suds, and watch football. And in the middle of it all, you eat like a king with the people that you love the most.

It might also be the best football week of the regular season. The weather is cold, the games are meaningful, and the DFS tournaments are swole. Best of all, recreational players everywhere come out of the woodwork to donk their account funds off. And who’s gonna be there to catch all that beautiful money falling from the sky? That’s right! You and me!

In addition all of the delightful drinking and gambling, Thanksgiving also gives us a stark reminder to be thankful – something I think we could all stand to do a little more in our everyday lives. Gratitude is one of the most healthy and positive qualities we possess as people, yet we forget it every day. I think we’re all guilty of taking some of the most important things in life – things such as good health, loved ones, and freedom – for granted on a daily basis.

I know I’m guilty of it. Sometimes I look right past the great things that happen to me but will give so much mental space to the most trivial of life’s inconveniences. Bad traffic or coming home to dog dook on my carpet can completely overshadow the taste of cold beer on a hot day or the sound of a kitten’s purr.
