Thanksgiving Thoughts...



Earlier this year, we lost one of our dear friends, Philip. We’re lucky to have his amazing and lovely wife, Cecilia, join us for Thanksgiving this year. A couple of days ago, Cecilia passed on a note that Philip used to send to friends and family before Thanksgiving, and I thought it was so lovely I had to share it here.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

We are about to celebrate one of our great American holidays, Thanksgiving.

This celebration leads us to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy in this wonderful country of ours. We have a great deal to celebrate this year. We have our family and good friends to thank for getting through another year.

We are blessed for being here in this country, enjoying a multitude of advantages .We have bountiful food, freedom of thought, religion and politics. We have our health and many intangible things to be thankful for.

As we sit down to our Thanksgiving meal to celebrate the start of our holiday season, let us not forget the wonderful privileges that we enjoy.

We must always enjoy our family and friends around us, and never, ever give up an opportunity to hug and kiss someone we love, each and every day.
