Thanks Giving!

This morning my friend, Ed Biagiotti, was having trouble getting started.  His son didn't want to go to school.  Ed felt himself getting frustrated but rather than attempting to intimidate his son into compliance, he instead stepped outside onto his porch, took a deep breath, and simply said, "Thank you." 


Soon he felt relieved of the burden of trying to force his will and things seemed to unravel themselves; father and son were moving forward.  Ed finished sharing his experience with me by saying, "Life's too short to say anything but 'Thank you.'"

Now that's the best thing I've heard in a long time.  Thanks Ed!

This one (cartoon) is all your fault.
