It was all a bit shocking – usually Market Basket is completely packed and you can’t even get into the parking lot, let alone get a pound of turkey at the deli! Born and raised north of Boston, MA, I am acutely familiar with the regional discount grocery store chain Market Basket. It’s where everyone I know shops for their food. Until recently. Market Basket has about 25,000 employees (non-unionized) and 71 locations in 3 New England states.

So, as I get ready to stuff myself with turkey this weekend, I thought I’d share with you the things for which I am grateful. If you had ever received a “Thank You” note from me, you’d remember that the inside says, “Gratitude is the Best Attitude” because I am and always try to be very grateful. After all, it’s good for you! In fact, according to Dr. Lissa Rankin , gratitude boosts happiness and… happier people live up to 10 years longer than unhappy people.

On this day before Thanksgiving, when the smell of turkey roasting evokes memories of loved ones who broke the wish bone or split the last piece of pumpkin pie with you, I'd like to suggest a topic of conversation for you to consider. It's not a revelation that social media occurs in the digital conversations of the Internet. However, some find it strange that conversations with people who might be more of an acquaintance than one we might call a "friend" often lead to important ideas.
