Tomorrow is “Thanksgiving Day.” A holiday set aside to give thanks for the harvest and for the blessings we have, starting with the Pilgrims in 1621. Even though the future of our harvests seems a little uncertain these days because of the undoing of legislation our federal government is undertaking with respect to the safety of our environment and our protected lands, there is still much to be thankful for in our personal lives. For me, the plentiful summer harvest I was allowed to reap is something for which I am very thankful. Another is the health and happiness of not only my husband and myself, but also our family and friends. May this Thursday find you able to be thankful for many things as well, and looking forward to better things in the future.
Happy Thanksgiving you two also. I am a descendant of the Mayflower pilgrims and have mixed feelings about the relationships between indigenous people and the pilgrims. But the concept of giving thanks is a good one and my family will be gathering and enjoying the day.
How nice to hear from you, Marilyn. I hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving Day celebration. Yes, at the very least, Thanksgiving Day is one day we are reminded to be thankful.
