Are you rich or poor? Short or tall? Thin or fat? Black, white or brown? Male or female? Employed or unemployed? A member of the haves or the have nots?
It doesn’t matter because whatever your current station in life, we all have something to be thankful for—family and friends, of course.
But most importantly, we should be thankful that we are in a country that allows us the opportunity to move up life’s ladder, even here in central Arkansas.
America’s history is a cornucopia of people moving up: The poor becoming rich, the mailroom clerk becoming the company’s president, even a shoe salesman (Harry S. Truman) becoming president.
That’s what makes this country great. Everyone here has a chance. It’s not a right, but a true opportunity to achieve. Just look all around you.
Let’s be thankful for that, and as we pursue our personal goals and dreams, let’s work together to keep our country a place where dreams can and do come true.
