I try to never forget to thank the allmighty for the blessings he has bestowed on me. I do this daily, but it seems appropriate to take this one day a year to share thanks with all of you. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things.

- For the fact that God has given me the blessing of being able to prepare a table in his honor tomorrow. It may be humble compared to the spread that will be laid out wherever the Anderson's gather in California tomorrow, but it will be ours, and I thank God for the strength that allowed me to earn the money that put it on the table. I am only too conscious that there will be many who will go hungry tomorrow.

- For the blessing of my health, that allows me to work and take care of my family.

- For the continuing survival and occasional successes of this blog, that has played such a vital role in helping me maintain my sanity, and has connected me with so many friends around the world.

- For those friends, who I hesitate to name individually... for fear I may forget someone. You know who you are, old, new, past, present and future. You also know the love and respect I have for you. I have learned over the past five years what real friendship is. I have learned to know the difference between friends of convenience and real ones.

- For my clients, who have generously given me their trust, and committed themselves to working for our mutual benefit.

- For the simple pleasures I enjoy. For the joys of living in a country where the national slogan is, "pure life..." Where people actually talk to their neighbors and a simple joy like sitting on my front porch at night and talking with one, is a much looked forward to activity.

- And last but far from least... For my family... Mari, Elsie, Apollonia, Jean and Romeo (my dog), who love me every day and give me the support that makes all the rest possible.

To all of you, who through intent or accident, end up here today, Happy Thanksgiving... I hope your day is a joyous one, and that you take a couple of minutes today to think about what you have to be thankful for...
