Happy Thanksgiving!

With all the busy schedules for tomorrow of cooking, eating and football watching, I want to take a few minutes to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and for those not celebrating this American tradition Happy Thursday!

I know that too often we forget the true meaning of Thanksgiving in the rush of every day life.  With all the cleaning for guests, cooking and traveling to be with family we need to remember what the day is all about. 

I know that with the recent decision to delay the Calico Gather advocates have something special to celebrate.  However, important this decision is, I truly hope that you have much more to celebrate this year.  If you are in your own home, be thankful you weren't one of the millions who lost it in the financial crisis.  If you aren't in your own home, be thankful that you and your family are alive and healthy to celebrate another year.  If you are suffering from the flu this year, be thankful that it is JUST the flu and that you aren't facing some other dreaded disease.  Things like that and on and on. 

I hope that everyone has something to be thankful for, family and friends to share it with and tons of good food to eat. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow advocates, friends and special people.
