–E.P. Powell
“What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?”
–Erma Bombeck
One thing I’m thankful for is that this day has not been commercialized. In these anxious times, it is worthwhile to stop and remember the many blessings that we do have.

I’m thankful it’s not commercialized either! Most every other holiday is.
