Thanksgiving

In my post of November 11, 2011, I mentioned an occasion when I was asked by a friend “what is your favorite day?”  Quirky question but I thought – and replied “Thanksgiving.”   It’s a long weekend.  Family time.  Great food (stuffing – my favorite).  And this year – the 10 and 1 Detroit Lions on television as usual versus the ill-fated Bears.  And Christmas is on the way.   Christmas??  YIKES!!  So I asked my friend his favorite day.  “December 21st” he responded.  The day of the winter solstice — when the days begin to get longer.  I can relate. . . . .     

Well, it’s another November.   Thirteen years later.  Wow!  The days are often slow.  And arduous.  But the years go quickly.  Faster it seems every year.    

I hope that Thanksgiving is a favorite day for you.  But think of Thanksgiving as more than just a day.  Thanksgiving can inspire an attitude as well.  An every day attitude.  Of gratitude.   For family. Friends. And so much more. My best wishes to you for a wonderful, happy and blessed Thanksgiving weekend.
