Thanksgiving isn’t just about eating yourself into a tryptophan-induced stupor. It’s also about counting your blessings, starting with all the important people in your life. That includes your friends, parents, children, mentors, and yes, that extraordinary sister of yours.
Okay, maybe you haven’t always been thankful for your sis. After all, sisters come in many forms, and some of those forms can be downright annoying. But, at the end of the day, your sister is a special person in your life who is likely never far from your thoughts – especially during the holidays.
