Grace, thanks, and the quote of the day

Our local meteorologist makes visits to local schools ... often very early in the morning.

Last week he made an appearance at one school at 5:30 a.m.(!) and gathered a group of shy, sleepy, hands-in-pockets grammar school students and asked them, "What do you like most about Thanksgiving?"

The first few weren't sure what to say and simply shrugged their shoulders. The next student, one ... who had a minute or two to think, said "family," which was followed by, "all the food."

The next few mimicked the previous answers, but the last kid in line ... the one who had the most time to think, had the best answer, "I like wishing on the wishbone."

I love that he said that, I love how he said it ... and I love the sentiment behind it.

Whether you'll be wishing on a wishbone or giving thanks in some other way, I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

And as Thanksgiving week gets underway, I want to say ...

I am thankful for you!


It means so much when you write comments, open my emails, and like my posts.

If you're interested in making note of what you're thankful for this Thanksgiving, click on the image above or right here, to download and print the "Today I Am Thankful for ..." sheet. There are two to a sheet so you can print extras for yourself ... and others.

What's your favorite thing about Thanksgiving?
