Thanksgiving

Just a quick note before the holidays.  As I reflect on Thanksgiving and the true intent behind the holiday, I am reminded of traditions that are near and dear to my heart.  I remember growing up my mom would get up extremely early and start cooking the bird.  When I managed to drag myself out of bed I would smell the aroma of Turkey.  I will never forget how good that smelled.
Now that I am grown I am trying to teach my kids how blessed we are to live in this wonderful country.  Do we have problems in this country?  Yes and they are big ones but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.  One tradition we have is for everyone to say what they are most thankful for.  I love doing that and I look forward to this Thanksgiving when I can enjoy that tradition again. 

No matter what it is you do for the holiday, I hope you take the time to count your blessings, because I am positive you have many blessings to give thanks for!

That is all.
