And Be Ye Thankful
Thanksgiving is more than a day.
It's a way of life.
After all, we have nothing that we have not received.
It's not taking the basic blessings for granted...
family, friends, food, shelter...
But also finding enjoyment in the mundane.
In that sense, it's looking at life Anne-ishly.
Nora: "Well, let's tackle this pile of greasy plates and look as if we liked it."
Anne: "I do like it...It's fun to make dirty things clean and shining again."
Nora: "Oh, you ought to be in a museum!"
-from Anne of Windy Poplars
It's an abiding appreciation of the multitude of good things and quiet beauty surrounding us.
And when you get a chance to celebrate,
you do it with zest.
Happy Thanksgiving!
