It's nearing Thanksgiving time and a time to be thankful for all of the things that we have. A time to remember the first Thanksgiving in America when times were a lot leaner than they are today. We are blessed and take for granted many of the conveniences that we use every day. In the last couple of weeks many people in our nation have lost their homes and had their lives altered by Sandy. Some even lost their lives.
We had power outages, high winds, and a few feet of snow. We lost a week of school and will have to make up the days at the end of the year. As of today, there are still people without electricity and telephone service in our area. This was a traumatic time for us locally. Still, we were able to cope.
At times like these, we have to remember that we are blessed to be alive and healthy. We have to be resourceful and concerned with our friends and neighbors.
During the coming days, think of things that you are thankful for and give of your time and resources to help someone who is less fortunate or can benefit from something you possess. Happy Thanksgiving!
