Another
Thanksgiving Day is upon us, and I find myself once more thankful for many
things. Most of them are ordinary, every-day things, which, in a way, makes
them even more worthy of gratitude. After all, I not only have a home, my
health and friends, but I have them every day. While it may be the unusual that
makes life exciting, it is the normal, the routine that make life, period. And
since my life is much better than many other lives, I am grateful for it, and
for the routine things in it.
I
hope everyone reading this – and everyone not reading it – has much more in
their lives for which to be thankful than not. If so, then I am thankful for
that, too.
Happy Thanksgiving, John. It's easy to forget how much we really do have to be thankful for, in our day-to-day routines.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had a peace-full, lovely long weekend and that everyone is doing well.
A Happy Thanksgiving my friend! To you and the Beasts as well. I know they are thankful each day as are you for their food and home.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you. My beasts give me plenty to be grateful for, whether they feel it or not!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! The routine, ordinary stuff is what we all hang our hats on; exciting, new stuff only happens once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I grow older, I can do with less exciting stuff...
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your feline family, John! With all of the day to day things we do, it's easy to forget the important things in our lives that we should be thankful for: good health, friends, a place to live, food on the table, and the big thing - our cats.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wouldn't have the same life without my beasts. I'd have more money - but I would be poorer.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours, John. In times more meager when we tend to think about what we don't have , Thanksgiving asks us to pause and be thankful for what we do have. I'm always humbled by what i have been blessed with when compared with many others throughout the world. Something as simple as clean, safe drinking water to fill our cats bowls! Simple gifts, taken for granted, abound.
ReplyDeleteEven if we think we don't have much, we usually have more than we need, and that's pretty darn good. Happy Thanksgiving, Kari.

ReplyDeleteThanks for being there, guys, and for including the Catfather in your saga!
DeleteHappy thanksgiving to you and your little family. We are all lucky to be able to live in warm comfortable homes, with a cosy bed and enough food to keep us fed.
ReplyDeleteIndeed we are.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope your weekend was a restful and pleasing one.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving John and to each of the kitties. I am on the other side of the country from my dear Holly but I am thankful she is in the good hands of my friend and enjoying turkey. I look forward to returning home.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to rejoin Holly soon. It's good to know she is being taken care of. I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, even though you were away from your Holly.
DeleteI'm horribly late, but Happy Thanksgiving John!
ReplyDeleteThat's all right. I've been reading your blogs: you were otherwise detained!
DeleteWhat a wonderful post. Thank you - a good reminder to me
