Life’s Reflections: Happy Thanksgiving to family, friends

123

We should give thanks every day, and we can do more of that on Thursday which is known as  Thanksgiving Day.

It’s a day set aside for families, whether small or large,  to gather and spend time together and make memories, count their blessings and be thankful.

I did a little soul searching knowing that I have a lot for which to be thankful and they included hearing from old friends and from hearing from people in my life that make me smile and bring me joy.

Jamie and I are thankful for friends, family, our health, our home, our prized possessions and, most of all,  God.

One post that I came across on Facebook stated: ”May the holiday season bring you love to your heart, health to your body and pure joy to your home throughout the year.”

My sentiments exactly. Enjoy and appreciate the bountiful meal and your loved ones with you.

Happy Thanksgiving!
