Giving Thanks

When you rise in the morning,
 give thanks for the light,
 for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food
 and for the joy of living.
 If you see no reason to give thanks,
 the fault lies in yourself.
 Tecumseh

Very well said. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend: may it be the best one ever.

Rev. Paul - thank you and may your day be wonderful. I volunteered to be on call for duty a week ago as at that time, I had no plans for Turkey Day and those that are junior enough to be on call have young families.

If it's quiet, I'll catch up on my reading, the computer off. If not, I will have made a colleague's wife much happier at supper time.

A friend's daughter took her first deer yesterday with a 44 mag rifle. -A nice buck, to boot.

Your post was timely and reminded me what matters.

Happy belated Thanksgiving. I hope all was quiet on the range.

Brigid said...

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. It was quiet, phone was quiet, I polished off some leftovers, read and took a nap. Didn't feel like a holiday, but it was still a day of quiet, and for that, I'm thankful.
