A century ago, a man struggled around this time of year to find anything for which he was thankful. There was a war at home that he knew could never be won, and shouldn't have been started in the first place. He was getting divorced, and his wife took the kids seemingly halfway around the world. People made fun of his creativity, undermined his idea, not understanding him at all.
Yet, he "pulled himself up by the bootstraps" and figured out his biggest problem. He used creativity to do the impossible. He ignored his attackers. He focused on his own projects and his own "story" - and he won. And he has well-over fifteen minutes of fame.
Be Thankful for the gifts you've been given and the Blessings you've received. Focus on your own story rather than what others are doing - who knows, you may have a Thanksgiving discovery just like Einstein.
