Happy Thanksgiving to All !!

A very happy Thanksgiving to all !!

It's been a high-priced year, but there's so much we can each be thankful for.

Nov 11, 2023 was the first anniversary of my heart attack. So I'm continually thankful to even be typing anything this morning. Later today I'll be surrounded by 30 family members and sitting down to a wonderful meal. I have truly been blessed.

This is a day for each of us to take a moment and reflect. My life is not perfect; I'm still celebrating 'extended family' with "grand-chickens" and "grand-puppies". Three years on, my shattered clavicle still aches and sends strange sensations down my arm. But Hamas didn't invade and kidnap my wife, and Russia hasn't used my home for artillery practice.

Instead of focusing on those things on your CZ-USA "wish list", may I suggest you take this one day to focus on what you do have. Each of us has been given so much.

And whatever your meal consists of, whoever you're sharing it with... take my word for it... it still beats an unplanned ride in the back of an ambulance, down a road only motorcycles should use, with 2 EMT's being thrown all over the place, and being showered with medical equipment and supplies from the top shelves... while they try to find a vein !  ;D

Fully agree Wobbly.  I am forever grateful for all I have been gifted, a loving wife of over 40 years, 20 years of service without getting wounded, my health, my family and living in the greatest country on earth.

I firmly believe living in such an affluent society, we focus on the petty 1st world problems / manufactured problems we forget to put things in perspective and be thankful for what we have.

A wish for all to have a happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all here.

Amen, and I agree, as my wife still has several weeks of radiation therapy left for her breast cancer treatment. I treated my staff to a full ham and fixin's the night before Thanksgiving, because I could, and they took lots of leftovers home - some are single parents living on overtime.
Actual Thanksgiving was, "less than optimal", as my sis in law and the wife's grown kids were, what the word, "Disruptive" - I didn't even have to talk politics! We had to leave about an hour after we got there, due to instant headaches from the noise and screaming. So, tonight, when she gets home from work, there will be ham, stuffing, fresh green beans. dinner rolls, taters, pies and whipped topping, enough for a Grande meal and leftovers for the both of us to take to work for the rest of the week, everything she should have gotten Thursday, and didn't.
