A Time To Share
We have come from different corners of the world both near and far. We have shared our innermost secrets to frustration, anger, sorrow, happiness and laughter. We have looked for approval where none could be found elsewhere.
I have met and/or run across some of the most interesting people imaginable here, and ... dare I say (of course I do), some people that have torqued my jaws (polite way of saying pissed me off). But all in all, doesn't it go with the territory? We can't please everyone, I don't think we were meant to.
It seems that right around the holidays beginning with Thanksgiving, we find a softer, gentler side that comes out of us. Far be it from me to say this (but I will), these kinds of days need to keep going year round and never end. Who knows, one day that may happen.
For now, the smell of roasted, broiled or baked turkey will fill the senses along with creamy mashed potatoes, steamy stuffing, corn and corn-on-the-cob, several veggies, salads, and of course, pumpkin pie (whipped cream optional). Familes will gather at the table to give their blessing and their thanks in hopes the next day will be a little bit better than yesterday.
Thanksgiving.
We give thanks for the bounty before us and we should also do so for the inheirent freedoms that surround us and for the love we nurture.
In giving, we should give back to those that matter most in our lives that they will know full well what they mean to you. Giving is a quiet effective way of spreading joy, happiness and love into someone's life.
In closing, I give my thanks to all of you who have stopped by and read, liked, reposted and commented. And I thank you for giving me of your time, your laughter and your friendship.
May your Thanksgiving leave you with full bellies and warm smiles.
