happy gobble day kids.

Time to shove some food down your gullet and be thankful you have food to do so. It is also time to sit back and ponder the other many things we are grateful for. And I'm not talking about the usual things like family, friends, your pets and the roof over your head. What about the air that you breathe or the earth that you walk upon? Or the trees that provide shade when it's hot, beautiful leaves for us to behold in the fall and flowers in the spring, wood for our homes and furniture, and fruit to feed humans and animals alike? The sun to give us energy, the light to see and warmth year round? Even the moon that provides the ocean tides and the romantic light to walk under at night. None of us ever asked to be put on this planet, but at least Mother Nature has provided us with the necessities to enjoy it and sustain the life we have chosen for ourselves. So be thankful for Mother Nature, as well as everyone else on your list this Thanksgiving. I know I am.
