Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, even with all the work. Cooking and sharing special food is a pleasure. My guest roster is greatly reduced now, but we'll have a good time anyway.
I love Thanksgiving because it centers on the idea of gratitude. Unlike the Pilgrims, we haven't had the experience of being truly hungry for extended periods, but we have so much for which to be thankful.
Whatever the circumstances of your holiday, take time to reflect and appreciate what you have and what you have had. For many there comes a time when gratitude must center on memories of years and loved ones past.
Be thankful and be blessed!
