Thankful

[Guest guest]

I'm thankful that I can do good deeds in my own way, I do them for their

own sake, not so that people will notice them.

I'm thankful for my family and friends who support me whether they agree

with me or not.

I'm thankful for all the dogs and cats in my life who've given me so much

joy and comfort over the years.

I'm thankful for the time I had, however short, with those who are now gone

and for the time I will have with those who are still here.

I'm thankful for the rescue dogs who bloom and grow strong and happy before

my eyes, I'm especially thankful to be able to make a difference in their

sad lives.

I'm thankful for my job that let's me fulfill my need to spend as much time

as I can with animals -- some who need comfort and help and sensitivity --

they accept it so much more graciously than people do.

I'm thankful that I get up each morning excited about my day and my job and

my life.

I'm thankful that I'm alive, lots of people are not and lots of people have

lost someone this year.

And mostly, I'm thankful for my faith. If it weren't for His grace I would

not know to be thankful.

Please have a happy and safe Thanksgiving Day. In the grand scheme of

things all of us have a great deal to be thankful for, let's try to show

each other that compassion as we proceed, thankful for each other and for

ALL of our differing opinions and especially for our freedom to express

them as ideas, not as personal criticisms.
