In our hectic present moment based world, we often forget that all progress comes from building on the past and solving the issues, problems and dilemmas which those who came before us solved. We often live where we do because someone made a decision to seek gainful opportunity. We know the people we know because of the same. Yet, we also carry inside of us a rich history from those who came before us. In reflecting this week on things for which to be grateful, also include your forefathers and foremothers who made choices. Celebrate those choices both big and small.
