”Every excess becomes a vice”
Irony of all ironies, we picked this one on Thanksgiving, our national day of gluttony. Perhaps indulging to excess once a year, as opposed to adopting excess as a way of life, allows us to appreciate how good we have it. Even our ascetic Pilgrim forebears knew enough to revel in the abundance of this land for one day a year. It’s important to practice moderation, but it is also important to practice celebration and offer up appreciation. Like anything else, moderation should be practiced in moderation. In other words, live it up a little – just be thankful while you do!
Note: The turkey in the photo is actually a cake I baked, it’s a faux fowl.
