Here we are.  It’s that time of year once again.

Time to finish blowing leaves into your neighbor’s yard.  Time to put up the garden hoses.  Time for decorating.  Time for holiday parties.   So much to do in such little time.  Damn.

The busy holiday season starts with Thanksgiving, when we gather with family and friends to give thanks for what we have. 

We cook.  We eat.  And then we eat some more. 

Then we shop so there is more stuff to be thankful for next year.

But Thanksgiving is a lot more than that.  We just need to allow it to be.  Before the busy-ness of the season kicks in, take a few moments.  Relax.  Think and reflect.  (Eat just a little bit more too!)

We all have so much that we need to be thankful for and this song sums it all up:

After you reflect, say one more prayer for the service men and women that defend our country every day, and also pray that we remain a country worthy of their sacrifice.

Peace.  And Happy Thanksgiving.
