Thanksgiving...

I have much to be thankful for.  Not just today, but every day.

My youngest son is home from Arizona for a few days.  He looks like a mountain man.  It has been a year and a half since we have been together...  :)  I am happy to see him.

We will soon gather as a family to enjoy food and spirits and to partake in the fellowship of family.  It will be good.

I am thankful for family and friends and opportunities.  Opportunities I have had and opportunities not yet realized.  Yes, there will be opportunities for all of us in the next couple of years.  I hope that we are astute enough to recognize them when they appear and brave enough to take advantage of them when we can.

Anyway...

I truly hope that each and every one of you has much to be thankful for and that you enjoy this day.

Stay safe.
