With Thanksgiving upon us, the entire country is encouraged to take a moment and be thankful for all of the things that we have, and then go buy all of the things we don’t on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
Irony aside, Thanksgiving is all about taking stock of what’s good in our lives. We take a breath, reflect, and appreciate. It’s good for the soul, as sometimes we can become so wrapped up in the hustle, bustle, and stress of the modern world that we forget to stop and smell the roses.
Similarly, Los Angeles Lakers fans can get so absorbed by rebuilding, criticizing rotations, and debating whether or not Lonzo Ball’s jumper makes him a bust (it doesn’t), that we lose sight of all of the good things happening around us.
