Coming out of Thanksgiving, here are five Cubs players I’m thankful for.

My daughter learned several Thanksgiving poems at school over the past few weeks and even a little pre-meal “grace” about blessings she makes all of us say before dinner. While this year has brought numerous unforeseen and unexpected obstacles or challenges to all parents, kids, workers, and even sports fans, it’s definitely a reminder that we should always count our blessings and appreciate what we have over what we might be missing. More than any other year, this Thanksgiving season is a season to reflect upon those blessings and what we should be thankful for in our everyday lives.
