I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. While not every
holiday in our lives is filled with the shining magic and happiness of
years past, holidays are an opportunity to reflect on where we have been
and where we want to go in our lives.
Thanksgiving always reminds me of the first time I came across Truman
Capote's classic story The Thanksgiving Visitor set in small town Alabama
in which the young Buddy learns from his elderly cousin Sook the spirit
of
thanks when she invites the town bully for Thanksgiving dinner. If you
find
yourself alone this Thanksgiving, think about what you can do for the day
that would help others - volunteer and help serve food at a homeless
shelter,
visit someone who is shutin, in the hospital, or a nursing home, or find
your
own creative way to use your talents and resources to help others.
Best wishes to all.
