Thanksgiving
This week we celebrate the harvest and a day of thanks which entails journeys to the homes of relatives, near and far. Tradition mandates large dining room tables laden with turkeys the size of ostriches and several side dishes followed by desserts laden with calories.
But that is not the meaning of Thanksgiving. We have much to be grateful for and should not require a special day to show our appreciation for friends and family. We must also not ignore those less fortunate but strive every day to share our bounty with others.
