This Thanksgiving is especially thought provoking.
The recent tragedies and events have had such a big impact
on our lives, that we all have been thinking more about life
and happiness with our families.

Life is so precious and wonderful. Thanksgiving represents
more than just Turkey, Dressings, Yams and Pumpkin Pie. It
represents how lucky we are to be together and be able to talk
to each other and have a meal together with friends and
family that we haven't seen in maybe a year or two, or longer.

It represents how lucky we are to be alive and able to enjoy
our children, our brothers and our sisters on a daily basis.
There are many who no longer have that privilege. There are
children who no longer have parents to guide them or to be
able to enjoy parent and child relationships to build
fond memories.

Life and Death is so deep and fragile that most people don't
want to even think about it. But Thanksgiving is that time
of year when you are around those who you love. Just being
around them is a wonderful feeling. To know you can talk
and exchange family stories and watch Football together,
or whatever you might think of. They are there and
you are thankful for that.

Here is wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving. May you
enjoy a truly meaningful time with your family and friends.
I wish for you all the turkey and all the trimmings that you
want, but mostly I wish for you the privilege of spending
this time with your loved ones. Those times are precious.
