You may be reading this the Day After, while you're still digesting turkey/ham/chicken or whatever, with stuffing/potatoes/green beans/jello salad, and pie/pie/pie. And whipped cream. And rolls (almost forgot the rolls) with real butter and homemade jelly.
In case you're reading it today, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm looking forward to a sumptuous feast tomorrow at my Ohio daughter's house.
In the meantime, here are some thoughts on Thanksgiving from other folks.
-----
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” ~ Epicurus
-----
“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be
produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” –William
Faulkner
-----
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a
present and not giving it.” ~ William Arthur Ward
-----
"Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They
are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not
coincidence." --Erma Bombeck
-----
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake,
zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. Jim Davis

Some closing thoughts, borrowed from somewhere:
Live well -- Laugh often -- Love always!
And give thanks!!
Happy Thanksgiving from Arizona! Love the quotes, especially Erma Bombeck. :)
ReplyDeleteErma always got right to the heart of the matter.
