Thursday Ramble - What Am I Thankful For

For my readers in the United States, and that is most but not all of my readers, Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope you are able to spend the day in a way that brings you peace, tranquility, and an opportunity to reflect on all of the good things.  Thanksgiving as a holiday, is a derivative of harvest festivals, the tradition in north America dates back to my far distant ancestors in the Plymouth Colony - the religious zealots from the Mayflower - estimates are there are 35,000,000 descendants somebody was doing something on those cold winter nights.  

I have much to be thankful for:

• My sweet bear
• I am able to love, and be loved 
• I have a safe and comfortable home
• I am in decent health
• I am able to read, write, learn, share
• I have a few toys that I enjoy
• The shelves in my local grocery store are full 
• I have enough to live on
• I have a job that challenges me, 
• My work makes a difference in the lives of others
• I have a life outside of my work, that I enjoy 
• I have a cadre of blogging friends, that I enjoy interacting with everyday 
• I have a small circle of close friends
• There are few fears in my life
• For those brave ancestors  

Take care if yourself, Be kind to yourself, Be humble, Be thankful for all that we have, be generous, 

THANK YOU for being a part of my life for another trip around the sun.
