Thankfulness

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving was for enough food to eat and for peaceful relations between races.

What will we give thanks for tomorrow? Everyone's answer will be a little different. Some have little to be thankful for. Others have perhaps too much. I have a great deal to be thankful for. Here's a short list:

Health Insurance. Without it I would be a helpless invalid.

Skillful Surgeons. Without them I would be a helpless invalid.

Family and Friends. Without them I would be adrift in the world.

Earth. Without it I would starve.

Rain. Without it I would live in a desert.

Occupy. Without it I would have little hope for change.

Books. Without them my life would be limited.

Dennis. Without him....I cannot imagine life without him.

Oh, Mama! That last line brought tears to my eyes! A lovely tribute!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We are thankful for our family and that, of course, includes you and Dennis! Bless you both!

Beautifully said, Shirley. I'll copy it and put in Doug's name instead of Dennis. They are both such 'energizer bunnies' and stalwart friends, as well as husbands.
