26. Isn't it amazing, Peggy, how so many people see Thansgiving as a time to complain?

Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 09:43 PM by Amerigo Vespucci

I went to morning Mass today and stood in a room full of people I know very well...many of them, including myself, coming to the end of one of the toughest years in recent memory. One thought filled the room: use Thanksgiving as a time to give thanks. At minimum, I have many friends, some dating back a decade or more, who have been my strength and inspiration this year. When I take my focus off of what I don't have, I find out how many blessings I actually do have.

A week ago I sent an email to many of my closest friends. It contained ten reasons why I am giving thanks this Thanksgiving. Reason number ten was "you are my friend, and you are reading this."

I have several pieces missing from the "completed puzzle" that makes up my idea of my own perfect little world. But I have life, I have determination, I have goals and I have friends. I am grateful.
