What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Mmmm, what’s that cooking in the oven? Is that turkey? And stuffing? And, are those sweet potatoes baking away with a thick layer of marshmallow on top? Are those pecan and pumpkin pies for us? Is it dinnertime yet?

For many of us, Thanksgiving conjures up Norman Rockwell-like visions of family and friends gathered around a table filled with tasty things to eat, great conversation, lots of laughter, and of course, football.

Celebrate and Give Thanks on Thursday, November 24^th this year.

My wife and I have a great deal to be thankful for. New home, a daughter who never ceases to amaze us with her inquisitiveness and the joy she brings to our family, overall good health, good friends and a future filled with promise.

Let’s not lose the essence of what Thanksgiving means. Take a moment during your holiday to thank the people who are most important to you for being in your life, and for all the wonderful things they bring to your life. Give thanks for your health, and wish those around you good health in the coming year.

And remember, there are many around us right now who are not nearly as fortunate as we might be. Spend some time doing something that will make their day special, as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
