Gobble Gobble -- Happy Thanksgiving

Today is a great day. It is the day we as a nation come together to be thankful for all the blessings in our lives. It doesn't matter how much or how little we have, we all have blessings in our lives that we can be thankful for. I am thankful for a great job and great employers in that job. I am thankful to see my debt be greatly reduced, even though I have had to make a lot of sacrifices to see that happen.

Others have their family. Or their friends. Or countless other things that they find to be a blessing to them. Some, may be of low income, but they are thankful to be alive or to just have those other blessings around them.

Today, I spent a couple of hours volunteering for our Community Thanksgiving Dinner, which served those that were poor, indigent or otherwise didn't have anyplace else to go for Thanksgiving Dinner. The dinner doesn't ask for income levels, because it is free for all who wish to come. As you see in the first picture, the meal was a very traditional meal of mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and even a slice of pumpkin pie. The second picture here is of a few of the many people who were in attendance to eat of this meal.


With that I would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
