A Day for Thanks


This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for
My family, near and far,
My friends, old and new,
My health, and the health of those I love,
My home, and the food we have to eat,
My country, and the freedoms we enjoy.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for
The wonderful gift of every new day.

Best wishes to you and yours for a happy Thanksgiving Day!

--Shelley
