Happy Thanksgiving everyone
We try to make the best of our circumstances, we try to appreciate all that we have because somewhere someone is in need, we try to remember those without, and we try to remember to simply be thankful for who we are.

All my best

DB

This year I must say, I am truly grateful for everything. Even the not so good, we never get too old to learn and appreciate what we have and dismiss what we don't have as unimportant. There are some less fortunate - will try to keep that spirit of Thanks everyday.

Everyone enjoy breaking bread with your family.

8. Happy Thanksgiving to you too! And we can all be thankful for this...
No matter how much the rich and powerful can steal from us or how much they try to oppress us with their constant attacks on our rights and intrusions into our lives, they can never steal the things of true worth from us, like love, compassion, empathy and all the other things that truly matter in this world. I'd rather be poor and have a heart and soul, than to be rich and completely empty inside.

The rich can own 99% of the material wealth, but the poor own 100% of the heart and soul of this country. We can feel assured that the rich and powerful can't steal something in which they don't understand or even value. That's one thing we can be very thankful for.

the other things that truly matter in this world."

Amen! We can build a better world if we so choose.

mom at the nursing home (Granny is 95), and will go to our niece's house (she is doing most of the cooking.) There will be about 20 relatives there.

I just finished making a pie, and am on my third batch of cookies. Miz O just told me what a fine job I'm doing.

The two sisters and their mom and her wheel chair will be in the car, and I'll ride along behind on the motorcycle. Miz O prefers we do it this way so I can leave when the family fun becomes more than I can bear. We've been married 42 years, and have discovered this is the ideal way to keep the peace whilst she is enjoying her family.

One of our daughters will be there, the other is having a big to-do with her boyfriend's family. Between the two of them (oldest daughter and her boyfriend) they have three kids in college, so their house will be crowded as well.

Last T'giving we did a similar thing and it turned out well. I predict this one will also.

Insofar as possible considering the circumstances many find themselves in, I hope that this can be a pleasant holiday/gathering for most - if not all.

Regards.

Note. This is the same response I made in another thread (Mineralmas was the OP), but I think it goes just as well here in this thread.

Have a nice, family day And rec
