Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am grateful for my family and friends, my doggies, for the food I eat and the roof over my head, for the many things life has afforded me. And I’m ever aware that it could all change in an instant.

My thoughts and prayers today are of thankfulness, but they will also be, as they are every day, for the children of the world who are poverty striken, hungry, cold, abused, parentless, afraid, sick, or who may be living in a war-torn country. Let today be a better day for them than yesterday was. And let tomorrow be a better day than today. Let there be peace on earth. Let us learn to be tolerant and embrace our differences.

Peace be with you my friends! I hope you are surrounded by family and friends this holiday and have much to be thankful for. Feel free to share what you’re thankful for this year!

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy~
