The Gratuitous Thanksgiving Post

Follow me on:

I'm not going to take up a lot of space today, since I'm getting ready to make a big batch of sweet potatoes and some delicious cranberry salad, but I wanted to take a moment to wish those of you who celebrate it a happy Thanksgiving. Even though I'm thankful all year long for the blessings in my life, I realize that sometimes we don't take the time to really look at them in detail.

I'm thankful for so many things -- I'm thankful that I'm healthy and happy, that I have a roof over my head and food on my table. I'm happy that my kids are getting a good education, and that we live in a country where it's okay to disagree or be different. I'm thankful for the friends and family in my life, and I'm thankful for all of you who take the time to read this blog, share your opinions, and help to educate others about what it is we do and believe. I hope all of you have a wonderful day, and that you'll take a moment to think about the things for which you too are grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving, Patti! I have the same list of thanks except the readers. Instead of that let me add that I am thankful for my companion, Pyewacket, a cream tiger striped cat, who loves me as much as I love him. I have never had a family, but I have had some loving pets instead. I am thankful for the love given to me by my companions who have gone before me and hope to meet them again when I pass on to the Summerlands.
