Thanksgiving — What A Wonderful This Day Is.
If you are American, what are you doing for it this year?
I’m not American, but I have always loved seeing movies and TV shows showing Thanksgiving.
There seems so much to do with happiness and joy, and gosh darn just being thankful for everything we have!
Often we take for granted, our life and what we have.
If we have health, we often lament the lack of money.
If we have love in our lives, we will often lament not having something else.
I wish more countries had this wonderful traditional holiday.
I wish I had grown up with it, myself.
It doesn’t stop any of us from celebrating it, of course. But if you are the only one doing it where you live, this would feel a little weird, unless you know an American or two there.
I’ve not been in America on this day, though I came close one year when I missed it by several days. Not intentionally mind you, it hadn’t crossed my mind. When I realized this, I was very disappointed.
To have been there on this day would have been very cool.
But in under a week, America will gather around tables throughout the country, heaped high with turkey…
