Happy Thanksgiving from the Utah Bee
At the Utah Bee we are taking the day to share the things for which we are thankful.
Smart people working to make positive change.
The power to vote.
The chance to learn with access to libraries, the internet, and people's broad ideas.
Public servants who are taking their turn to build our communities.
Healthy family relationships which give us strength to allow us to challenge unhealthy family relationships.
Food, shelter, hot showers, and the ease they represent.The ability to work hard.
Big thinkers who push boundaries and question the status quo.
Technology that allows us to connect, learn, confront, and identify with so we don't feel so alone.
Humor that allows us to laugh.
The resources to love, serve, give, and share.
As Americans and Utahns, most of us have access to the things above. We should be grateful for them and work to improve these things for others. There are elements of effortlessness in many of these items because people came before us and worked to create a society that allows us to challenge and enhance our world. For many of us, privilege gives us room to question, expand, develop, and build up. On this Thanksgiving day, we wish you each of these things and hope that you have a day of peace.
Thank you for being part of this growing Utah Bee community.
