At times our own light goes out
and is rekindled
by a spark from another person.

Each of us has cause to think
with deep gratitude
of those who
have lighted the flame within us.

My life is truly abundantly blessed.

. . . May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

And as we prepare for this
our Thanksgiving Day  . . .
October 12 (in Canada)
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
