Hello, book people! If you're like me, you're eagerly looking forward to a gathering of family and friends this Thursday (but perhaps not the planes, trains, or automobiles that will take you there) and all the delicious things you'll be eating soon. Before you start talking politics over turkey or fighting with your cousin over the last bit of mashed potatoes, remember gratitude. Take a moment to be thankful for the food, the people, and the life in front of you. Yes, we have some books that can help with that.

As M.J. Ryan says, "Gratitude brings you back to the present moment, to all that is working perfectly right now. Tomorrow may be bring difficulties, but for right now, things are pretty good." Happy Thanksgiving all.
