A Day To Give Thanks

From our house to yours, we wish you a life with much to be thankful for. And somewhere amongst the din of family, turkey & gravy, apple pie and football, please take a few moments to think about all that you do have to be thankful for.

Around our table each person is asked to relate those things for which we are most grateful.

As for myself, I am thankful for everything - even the bad things that allow me to appreciate the good all the more. After all, would spring seem so sweet if we did not have to suffer through a winter to get there?

So, I am thankful for the hard times that plague our nation, as it will make us stronger, and teach us to be humble. I am even thankful for my COPD, as it has taught me to live every day as if it might end sooner than expected.

Yes, let us be thankful even for the "blessings in disguise" - those trials and tribulations that, without them, we would be much less than we are.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
