Damn right, we should give thanks!

Thanks that things aren’t even worse than they are. Thanks that Joe Biden (can you believe it? Joe freakin’ Biden!?) is the next President of the United States. Thanks that he didn’t die before election day. Thanks that slightly more than half of your fellow citizens aren’t complete idiots.

Also thanks that you aren’t dead. Yet. Thanks that maybe, perhaps, possibly, keep your fingies crossed one or all of those vaccines will actually work. Thanks that your house was not engulfed by a monster wildfire, clobbered by a super-hurricane, or drowned in this year’s thousand-year flood. Yet, yet, and yet.

And, most of all, thanks that you’re not too disillusioned and bitter to give thanks at all.
