An anecdote periodically makes the personal finance rounds; it goes something like this:
A professor starts a lecture with a jar, a collection of rocks, sand, and a beaker of water.
He puts the sand in the jar, then pours in the water. Once that’s done, he tries placing the rocks in the jar, but there isn’t room for all of them. Water or may not spill all over the desk.

If you were to ask me how things are going, I’m much more likely to tell you about my latest challenges, than to say Great! and really mean it.
As this is Thanksgiving week in the USA, I think this might be a good time to practice flexing my thankfulness muscles. It’s good for me to count my blessings.
