Wishes from the Cat House

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

(To my wonderful son in Austin, Tx... I love you and I'm sorry you couldn't make it down for the day, but please know that you are in our thoughts as we gather together this day and always.)

Thanksgiving Day, as celebrated in North America, is a time to gather with family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings enjoyed by these nations and their citizens. However, to many people, its meaning is lost. It has become simply another day for huge meals, dinner parties, get-togethers or reunions. What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

My thoughts and prayers are also with all our military men and women and all those serving this wonderful country! I also wish all those families and individuals that are alone or seperated from their loved ones and find themselves alone on this day.

I leave you all with this:

Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.

We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.

The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!
