Happy Thanksgiving, all.
Tell me what you have to be thankful for. I don’t have to share with you that which I am most thankful for but I will! 🙂 Of course, any of you who have lost someone close know that you realize best what to be thankful for only when they are gone. Well, not exactly–but it at least makes you think a little more about what you have, what you have had and what you will have. My immediate family on my Mom’s side were all here this day… I am thankful for that. I’m most thankful today for my wife Heather and our new marriage. I do hope we are able to spend a lifetime together. I’m also thankful for all of my friends and every one of my family members new and old. You all mean the world to me. So let me know what you’re thankful for…
…or comment on my blog header. I decided to make a blog header which was approriate to society’s tendency to make each holiday sound ‘up to date’ while completely disrespecting the original meaning of the day. Christmas is one holiday that has gone through the politically correct machine. Companies, organizations and individuals alike–at some point decided ‘Happy Holidays’ is more appropriate. I say, “BAH, HUMBUG.” Christmas is Christmas whether you’re Jewish, Hindu or Buddist. Regardless *note my eloquence in not using IRregardless*–Anwyay… Regardless of your religion Christmas is a holiday which was invented with specific celebratory means in mind… if you don’t like it then don’t celebrate it. If you do? Then wish your neighbor, “Merry Christmas!” Anyway, the blog header is sort of the ultra-minimalist view on what people have started to refer to as “Turkey Day.” Turkey Day [as it were] is completely inappropriate. And so I give you “T-DAY!” and you all should enjoy the humor in that which is my blog header. Alas, it will probably be gone before you get a chance to look at it so if you didn’t see it…
Here it is. 😉
I am also thankful for family. I was able to watch cartoons with the youngest of children and bonded with them like no other time before. I am thankful for my brother Ray as he has helped me in only a way that I can say he saved my life physically.
I am thankful for my friends and in particular my (brother) Adam whom again I can only say that emotionally he has saved my life many times over when I was depressed after my divorce. Adam has shown me that laughter truelly is the best medicine.
I am thankful for a God that has shown me through the years that these people have been given to me and they are a gift to be treasured. I will always remember you. Thanks
I am thankful for YOU too; you bring me so much joy and peace. I’m thankful for my family who loves me no matter what, and for my friends who are there in good and bad times. It’s been a difficult, crazy, wonderful, busy, sad and happy year. Thank God we have these fantastic people to get us through it all.
