HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We'd like to wish Americans a very happy and prosperous Thanksgiving, with our 

hopes that you keep the holiday's core message in your hearts.

May your feast be a happy one with family and friends, and a thought in your mind 

for those of us who are so much less fortunate, and for those who have passed from our lives.

WE'RE THANKFUL FOR OUR LOVED ONES AND FOR OUR HAPPINESS, WITH HEARTFELT MEMORIES FOR THOSE WE NO LONGER HAVE AT OUR DINNER TABLES.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA - HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Today is the American Thanksgiving Day, a day upon which we take the time to appreciate those things in our lives which are good. My ancestors were at that first Thanksgiving dinner alongside Native Americans, and while we -- the collective we -- have made numerous mistakes over the intervening centuries, we are all merely human and must work to improve ourselves a little bit at a time. We are not perfect, and will never achieve perfection, but believe in the need to strive for it.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday -- Canadian too, on a different day -- but it's a day in which all people, everywhere, may take a moment to themselves and appreciate those things that make our lives worth living.

I am thankful for my family and friends. They are a source of love, inspiration and energy which make my life such a positive one. 

(And one side note: Yes, I know Williamsburg, above, wasn't the site of the first Thanksgiving. I simply have not been back to Plymouth with my digital camera. So I went with the next best thing.)

Today is the day Americans have set aside for giving thanks for all that we have. 

We are a privileged nation, and should be grateful for the hard work of our ancestors to make it that way. With appreciation for what we have and have been given.

Happy Thanksgiving.
