Happy Thanksgiving!

As we here in the former colonies celebrate a long-formed tradition known as Thanksgiving Day, I want to say that giving thanks should be an everyday event. Each day we wake up each one of us should celebrate life and all that it has in store for us. The truth is that each day is special and new.

If you have loved ones around, thank them for being a part of your life. In fact, people who give thanks each day live and longer and healthier life than those who don’t. I realize that we live in some hard times. Yet, if you are healthy, you have the ability to move forward. Even those that may have some health problems can live the best day each and every day.

I like the fact that Paula Dean laughed off getting hit by a frozen turkey recently. Much like President Reagan did when he was shot, both of them looked at the humor of the event. I think that today, especially, we should look at any troubles in a different light.

So give thanks for what you have right now and the possibilities of what can happen tomorrow.
