Our American family is on the line this Thanksgiving: Opinion.
This season, from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, is my favorite time of the year. The weather changes, the trees turn vivid shades of yellow and red, people seem to smile more, the music on the radio and holiday decorations make things bright and we all seem to have an extra jump in our step.
Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a federal holiday in 1863 in the midst of a bitter, brutal and bloody Civil War. Today, we are also in a time of great division and tribalism where there is anger and frustration towards our fellow women and men. We lack the connection as an American family today, seemingly tearing ourselves apart once again.
And the best way to create a renewed bond of the heart is to realize we all share common joys and sorrows. Each of us has fallen in love, had our heart broken, enjoyed a wonderful moment in nature, experienced loss in our lives, celebrated together a victory in sports, or laughed or cried in a moment that touched us. And it is there in those places that we can revisit what we have in common.
