I’ve faced ruin and recovery, wreck and regret, and the daily news is like a Groundhog Day rerun of a tour of Hades. So what is there to give thanks for? Plenty.
For the Wampanoag, this year’s National Native American Heritage Month may mark the turning point for that hardy and proud tribe who were the true heroes of that very first Thanksgiving.
When we care for and nurture others, when we know that life is about what we DO not what we own, and when we can care more about others than about ourselves, only then are we truly happy, and truly thankful.
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. Some of my earliest memories are of my extended family gathering at my great-grandmother’s farmhouse in the country and eating an absolute feast.
