Thoughts of Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving we reflect on what we're grateful for. With all the turmoil and bad economic news, this holiday makes us think of the core things for which we are grateful. Here are some of mine:

I'm grateful for a wonderful husband and daughter who are both healthy. They bring unbounded joy into my life.
For my own good health. I can walk, talk and see when there are so many who are not so blessed.
I'm grateful my 86-year old mother is still alive and taking tap-dancing lessons. She is an inspiration.
That my husband's parents are still alive and healthy and hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 35.
For all my friends, scattered all across the country. Each of you hold a special place in my heart.
For the wonderful people I work with. There is no more creative, fun group who also possess big hearts anywhere.
I appreciate that I live in a beautiful part of the country, in a serene spot where I can hear the red-tailed hawks overhead and the coyotes at night.
I'm grateful to live in the United States, where we can vote, speak our minds, and where women can pursue their dreams.
I'm grateful that November 4 saw a record-number of Americans vote. The sight of  millions of Americans and  people all over the world weeping with joy and hope...it shows that there is a profound connection between us all.
I am grateful for the beauty of each day; the pink light of dawn, the golden fall leaves, the moon casting shadows across the countryside.


Reflect on the things you're grateful for.

Have a wonderful, safe holiday!
