I have always thought our national holiday should be called “Giving Thanks” day.
Here are my top ten thanks for this year:
- My health…at 83, I’m on just 2 pills.
- My friends…who surround me with love
- My home…has remained safe despite hurricanes.
- My garden is small but gives me great happiness
- Greeting cards…so many cards expressing love and support.
- Medical personnel…provided outstanding care to my husband and me.
- Family…supportive, helpful, loving
- Husband…love, love, and more love that is everlasting
- God…guidance, support, understanding, and LOVE.
May this day of Giving Thanks (Thanksgiving) be one of family, friends, joy, and LOVE.

~ Indeed, this is a special day, often taken for granted with all the distractions tossed in. Football, beer. snacks & salsa – oh yea, and that big dinner. Perhaps today we should consider those people who lost everything from the ravages of Hurricanes Helene & Milton, just to name 2. Imagine losing everything – and receve it all back tomorrow. We would fully understand the deep personal meaning of – being thankful.
