Happy Thanksgiving
Be Thankful:
If you are healthy and have no physical or mental impairment. If your children, parents, brothers or sisters have two functioning arms, legs, eyes, and ears.
If you have enough to eat and can feed those who depend on you.
If you have a job that pays a wage that permits you to not only afford the essentials of shelter and food, but also allows you some extras (travel, dining out, movies, sporting events, plays - whatever), be Thankful.
If you have friends that you can count on, who will be there for you, and you for them, be Thankful.
If you live in a country where Veterans have risked and given their lives so that you remain free. Especially if you disagree politically with those who have given their lives so that you remain free, be Thankful.
If you have complete and total freedom to worship the religion or belief of your choice, or, if you have the freedom to not worship at all.
If you have freedom of speech, to say and write what you please without censorship.
If you have the freedom to voice your disagreement and dissent with your government, without fear of reprisal.
To my family and friends, to my fellow bloggers, to the visitors of this blog, to those whose path crosses with mine (people I may meet only once and never meet again), to those I may differ with politically -
- Happy Thanksgiving, and God Bless.
