Happy Thanksgiving...

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice...
Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... 
a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons,
 the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year -
 and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God..

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. 

Thanksgiving is celebrated each year fourth Thursday of November in the United States. 

Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often

 extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated.

As a child Thanksgiving was a day where friends and family gathered, mostly at our home.
  My parents always loved to entertain so we had another good reason to celebrate. 
 Although I was not born in the USA, I have lived here from the time I was
 nine years old so we grew up celebrating all the
 American Holidays and Traditions.

Thanksgiving is such a big celebration here in the USA.  It's one of the holidays where

 hundreds of thousands of travellers make their way back to home.  Everyone looks forward

 to being home with family and loved ones, and enjoying a very traditional Thanksgiving 

meal during this time of giving thanks.  Traditional Thanksgiving Meal.

  Interesting tid bit, Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are 

consumed in twelve minutes.  Half-times take twelve minutes.  This is not coincidence.

Though we were raised in this tradition we never really did have the traditional meal.  My

 mom made it for company, you see we do not really like turkey, so for us she always

 made many other yummy things that we liked.  To this day we continue

 to celebrate our Thanksgiving, but without the Turkey.

As someone said, "as we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest

 appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them"  Happy Thanksgiving to all. 

 Be safe, enjoy and yes put on those few extra pounds...

Remember everyone that gratitude consists of being more aware of what you have,

than what you don't.  Have a good day with family and friends.

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us,
 and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips,
 and shows itself in deeds...

Happy Thanksgiving....

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," 

that would suffice...Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace,

 the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival 

that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty 

of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - 

and the deep,  deep connection of all these things with God..

Today we return home to Florida, home to Brutus.  This has been a 

very good stay in Mexico and what made a good stay even better was

having my sister and nephew with us. For me it will always be one of the best

times ever in Mexico.  We did so many thing and we just bonded even more.

Thanksgiving is such a big celebration here in the USA.  It's one of the holidays where 

hundreds of thousands of travellers make their way back to home.  Everyone looks forward 

to being home with family and loved ones, and enjoying a very traditional Thanksgiving meal

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare.  They are consumed in twelve

 minutes.  Half-times take twelve minutes.  This is not coincidence.

For us it's has already been a good Thanksgiving.  Though it would have been 

the best to be with the entire family, I will take what has been given as a special gift 

and for that I am grateful.  Will soon see Brutus and that will complete our day.

For now wishing you all a good day and don't forget, "as we express our gratitude, 

we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them"  

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  Be safe, enjoy and yes put on those few extra pounds...
