I'm sitting at my dining room table pondering ideas for a Thanksgiving themed article.

Perhaps the idea of family dynamics and Fatherhood Statistics and how they play a role in the holidays. How this time of year brings thoughts sorrow or loss to some while others embrace ecstatic joy.

I glance to a piece of paper sitting near me, my son's Christmas list.

It's simple. A few toys but nothing extravagant.

Then it hit me. All are wants, not needs.

He does not understand needing.
For the most part, neither do I.

And I'll guess that the majority of the people that will read this article don't either.

I challenge you to be thankful to only want and not need. That you will wake up tomorrow in a warm home with clean water to drink, food to eat, and perhaps someone you love with whom to spend the day.

May we all be so lucky.
