• You

  I was thinking about so many of you last night and how you enrich me life daily.

  At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
  Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
  of those who have lighted the flame within us.
  -- Albert Schweitzer

  You have become friends and loved ones, you help me to see other views
  and you make me think, you expose me to different lifestyles and cultures,
  you give me a chance to see new places and hear new music,
  and you make me laugh.
  
  Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
  they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
  -- Marcel Proust
  
  I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.
  -- Woody Allen

  I love reading your stories and
  even though I am poetically challenged I have learned to enjoy your poetry.
  You have shared your hurts and sorrows and have nursed me through mine.
  You have lost homes, brothers, parents, friends ,pets  and jobs
  in recent months and we have prayed for one another along the way.

  Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,
  just as in fact you are doing.
  I Thessalonians 5:11

  You prayed for my mom who is so much better,
  she came up the steps yesterday to see me for the first time since she went to the ER ,
  she brought me some soup she made, it was in a coffee jar, it made my heart so glad!

  For this I am thankful; for you, for her, friends and family, breath and health,
  running water and a warm home and for this view.
  
  
  For each new morning with its light,
  For rest and shelter of the night,
  For health and food, for love and friends,
  For everything Thy goodness sends.
  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  I thank God.
  
  Happy Thanksgiving
