"Give thanks" is something Habte Selassie says all year round.
I try to listen to his radio program, "Labbrish," every week on WBAI. It used to come on at 3 a.m. Saturday and now has been changed to 2 a.m. Besides Habte Selassie's generous and positive outlook on life and humanity, the program features reggae music and a weekly educational segment on natural, herbal medicine. No matter how hectic or troubled life gets, listening to reggae music seems to have an uplifting and calming effect for me.
Even if you never find yourself up at that hour to hear the radio, I recommend Habte Selassie's philosophy, not just for one big day but ongoing: Give thanks.

Wow, Bernice, I remember Habte Selassie from waaaaaaayyy back in the day, when I used to listen to WBAI obsessively in high school--listening to Lenny Lopate, as well as to my dear friend, the late Judy Simmons, when they had late-night shows before moving on to other stations! Yes, reggae is calming--I know some folks who listen while also taking their prescribed medical marijuana.

America, yes we today are so dearly grateful for having Life, Liberty and MTV. May those suffering around the world someday have the opportunity to complain as much as we do about how high our taxes are, while wearing the latest North Face warm coats and obscenely expensive sneakers.
