Thanksgiving...

Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! ~Henry Ward Beecher

Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God. ~Ray Stannard Baker

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.
~H.U. Westermayer

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt

and remember to be thankful for those closest to you.... ~ ASC

Much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day. Great: Family, Friends, Children across the pond; Great Friends here, Health, Wellness, Sense of Being, Roofs over our heads, and a bountiful table on this day, plus I only have two classes to teach today!! ;-)

After my last class at 7:00 this evening, I will head to one of the several Restaurants in Prague that are actually serving an American Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixins, including Pumpkin Pie! Won't be quite the same as in Pittsford, but
still, I am thankful for this day, what it means, the dinner to come... and many many many other things on this thanksgiving day.
