On thankfulness

This Thanksgiving, we at Austenacious have so many hopes for you, our readers.

We hope that you’re healthy. We hope that you’re happy. We hope that you have a roof over your head, that you’re surrounded by family and friends, and that you have plenty of food (including all the side dishes—just the way you like them). We hope the holiday is full of warmth and joy, and that your personal list of thankfulness is too long and rich to recite.

But if you run out of ideas, consider this food for thought:

You aren’t Charlotte Lucas.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
