Most Americans are familiar with Norman Rockwell's beautiful picture, "Freedom From Want" showing a family sitting down to a bountiful turkey dinner. It was part of a series titled "The Four Freedoms": Freedom to Worship, Freedom from Fear, Freedom from Want and Freedom of Speech.
In my late-20's or early-30's I finally figured out that the secret to achieving Freedom From Want is not in getting more stuff but in wanting less. I have my health, a wonderful husband, a precious dog, a loving family, a roof over my head, and plenty to eat. Everything else is just icing on the cake. I am blessed and very thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
