Letter - Minnesotans should give thanks
Thanksgiving is one of the few truly American holidays. Originally a celebration of our blessings and survival as a budding nation of immigrants, it has become a time for self scrutiny and appreciation for our lot in life.
To the editor:
Thanksgiving is one of the few truly American holidays. Originally a celebration of our blessings and survival as a budding nation of immigrants, it has become a time for self scrutiny and appreciation for our lot in life. But this fall, we should pause to take stock of our lives, and truly give thanks for how blessed we all are.
We Minnesotans still have a lot of things to be thankful for during these hard economic times. Minnesota leads the nation in education, healthcare, home ownership, medical discovery, percentage of people with health insurance, literacy rate… the list goes on. We have a high quality of life in Minnesota and we all benefit from maintaining it.
Certainly there are many issues that can, and must, be improved. As your state senator, I will work every day to continue to ensure that our quality of life is something for which we can all be thankful.
