Thanksgiving for all

I’ve seen this attributed to G.K. Chesterton, and I’m sorry I don’t know in which of his many works it appears. But no matter: here’s a Chesterton thought for Thanksgiving, with my best wishes to my readers.

“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”

Indeed!
