Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 23
In past years the day before Thanksgiving I would have been running around to stores, making plans, baking and cooking ahead of time. Tradition!!!

Then, the family has "thinned" out with the older generation passing on.

This year my children are busy with others on Thursday. Friday, we will be going to "another world" for dinner.... the Henderson Castle French Restaurant.

The "where" sets a rather opulent aspect to the dinner. The "who" is family and friends that are family as well. The "reason" is that we have been granted some time away from the necessity of work to "gather together to ask the Lord's blessing..." And that old hymn stills my busy life and reminds me that it is a good thing to be under the wing of our divine higher power...

The attitude of gratitude all year long - that is "thanks giving."
