It’s too bad many of us only think about what we’re grateful
for at Thanksgiving. We should be thankful every day. We live in a land of
plenty when people in other parts of the world go hungry, have no homes, no
freedoms, and live with fear every day.
As we sit around a table laden with enough food to feed two
or three times as many people, we give thanks for our many blessings. Here are
a few of mine.
Grandchildren who make me laugh and fill me with good
cheer.
Children who’ve grown into responsible, caring adults.
My husband who’s a quiet presence in our home, always
supportive, a good man.
A family who takes care of each other.
Friends who love us and care about us.
Our house that shelters us, in a neighborhood of genuinely nice
people.
My talent as a writer where I can entertain readers by giving life to the
characters in my head.
Supportive writing friends.
Fans who are enjoy my books.
Books that have always been my friends.
Safe travels to all who will be on the road this week.
What are you grateful for?
Happy Thanksgiving Diane. I am grateful for a lot of things, starting with my wonderful parents,my spiritual master, my siblings, my friends and relatives :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Turkey Day to you, too, Rachna. Our gratitude list can go on forever, can't it?

ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my home, my car (which surprisingly still works), my cats, my mom, my nephews, my editing career, my writing talent, and all of my blogging/writing friends like you!
Aww, thanks, Chrys. Ditto.

ReplyDeleteEven though I'm European and living in Germany, I'm very thankful for my family and friends. I'm especially thankful for my incredible husband. I don't say that often enough :)
Thanks, Nicola. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family.
