Skammentary: Anno domini MMXX has been a hard year, to understate the matter. Yet for all the tragedies & travails of these benighted times, there is not a one of us who does not have much for which to be thankful. Contrary to the dogmas of the modern cult of self-invention, not a one of us created herself. This day, the breath you're currently breathing, the very fact that you exist & have lungs with which to breathe, is all gift. Giving thanks is not just a duty, though in justice to the Giver of the gift it is indeed a duty, but also a privilege. So, today of all days, even amidst this annus horribilis, count your blessings & give thanks.
