Thanksgiving Day
November 24, 2011
On this day, gather a variety of fresh thanks for the common blessings of life. The following make a good combination:
- That you are even as good looking as you are
- That whatever life denies you it is sure to push you into opportunities for character growth
- Thanks for will power
- For the charm of individuality ~ that which makes you unique in the universe
- That your emotional nature is sound and exquisitely responsive
- Thanks for friends, and that those who have passed on walked beside you so long
- Thanks that life has infinite perspective, that though veil after veil be lifted, there's veil after veil beyond
- Thanks for a growing compassion for the turkey
We rejoice that it has entered the hearts of an entire nation to keep each year a public thanksgiving day.
~ Good Things, Elizabeth Goodhue, 1911
