Thanksgiving

I would like to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving. This is a time to give blessings for the abundance of our harvests and for the blessings of the past year.<br />n<br />nWhile my harvest's of crops and livestock were poorer than normal, I give thanks for what I did have. It was a productive year and things worked out for me so I give my thanks.<br />n<br />nBetween friends, loved ones, and family, I give thanks for all these relationships in my life. There is more to life than work and these people are what make life worth living. This is the most important blessing their is. People. Our relationships with our self depends on our relationships with other people so having other people in your life makes a person complete. I am complete, and happy. Who can ask for more.<br />n<br />n<strong>The funny thing about Thanksgiving, or any huge meal, is that you spend 12 hours shopping for it and then chopping and cooking and braising and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes to eat it and everybody sort of sits around in a food coma, and then it takes four hours to clean it up. Ted Allen</strong><br />n<br />
