This was my first Thanksgiving in twenty-five years without a Harris at my table... that reality even showed up in my dreams yesterday morning! My dad made it, and dear friends, and next year, I know it will be different... I am reminded by this thanksgiving day, to give thanks every day for the beauty of life, the kindnesses given to me, and the opportunity to be here on this earth for as long as I have, a gift... Thank you and peace to you dear friend. P.s. a package began its way to you on Wednesday!<br />Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101643429585271655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-54931601404297711072012-11-23T09:28:20.658-08:002012-11-23T09:28:20.658-08:00The gathering in love and gratitude feels like a g...The gathering in love and gratitude feels like a good thing to me.

I remember it well.<br />And rumpus rooms where the FUN was....leastwise it seemed that way when you were trapped in the livingroom/kitchen with the gossiping women. LOL Ah, the perceptions of a teenager, huh? Funny--I still think there's truth in that and after reading here I feel validated!<br /><br />I do hope you and yours enjoyed the Holiday.<br />Pretty quiet one here--but that's not an all bad thing. The dinner was good, the company...fair....ROFL No worries--I'll tell him I said that! ;-)<br /><br />Abundant blessings to you and yours, sir. BOY is there a list and a half of things to be grateful for in this past year, huh?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-864616305695624102012-11-22T18:09:11.839-08:002012-11-22T18:09:11.839-08:00It is indeed sad that the first nations had to suf...It is indeed sad that the first nations had to suffer so much for the freedom of the first European settlers. We do have to understand that those settlers were under the delusional idea that they really were better - more worthy. It seems ludicrous and wrong to us now but the world was a different place and ignorance was vast and rampant. They believed that they had a divine right to be Lords of the Earth and yet didn't understand the first thing about being a good steward - think what a different world we'd be in if only they could have learned a thing or two from the indigenous mindset. And still today, the bullies force their will on everyone through terror and destruction while gentle people have everything taken away.<br />Still, I'm thankful for people who press for a better way - and better in more than profits.
