Happy Thanksgiving

I awoke this morning with devout Thanksgiving for my friends, old and new.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If the only prayer you said in your life was “thank you,” that would suffice.” — Meister Eckhart
My son flew home on Tuesday night. His new job in Chicago sends him all around the country, so I’m grateful that he’s able to take time off to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.
This is homecoming week in the purest sense. Our neighborhood’s recent college grads came back to visit this week (most of them found jobs outside Michigan) and I can’t wait to catch up with them. In spite of all the worrisome news on television — or maybe because of it — I’m counting my blessings. My two favorite words in the English language are home and family, and today I celebrate them with a full heart. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! — CL

Cindy, I always like Thanksgiving weekend for the same reason — all the out-of-town family and friends who are back visiting. I feel very grateful that my family could all be here, too. Our oldest son is still home this evening from Ann Arbor and he’ll be leaving tomorrow morning to resume his college classes tomorrow. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
