Giving Thanks...
The dishes are done. The rest of the family is either napping or half-way home to Rhode Island. The house is quiet, which gives me a moment to blog about Thanksgiving 2007.
As we began our Thanksgiving dinner, Abby (my six year old niece) got our attention by asking an innocent question, “What is everyone thankful for?”
Maybe it was the full plate of food in front of me or the need to just “play-along” with Abby, but I didn’t give my answer a great deal of thought at first. It wasn't until after dinner, as we sat around the table talking about life, politics, kids, work, and of course remembering our loved-ones, that I began thinking...
I am thankful for:
10. Mom’s apple pie
9. The 2007 Boston Red Sox
8. for our Men and Women serving in the Military
7. Breaking 80 (it’s a golf thing)
6. Education
5. Our Siamese cat - Tai
4. Good Health
3. Family & Friends
2. Pam
1. Time
Which reminds me, its time for another piece of apple pie?
Wishing all a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!
