Thanks

I am thankful for the things I have and the things I do not. I am thankful for this troubled and flawed country, it's pained denizens and all of their conflict.

I am thankful for the people I love and for the time I had with the ones that left too soon. I am thankful for my tears.

I am thankful for every single breath.

While the bird's cooking, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the salad

A wonderful holiday to all, with plenty of thanks!
