For all those individuals that celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish everyone of you a very Happy Thanksgiving wherever you are on Thursday. Some of my friends will be traveling with other friends and family -- locally, nationally or internationally. Other friends and acquaintances will be having or are going through a difficult time. It may be the first holiday since a loved one's passing or without a job or being sick or recovering from an illness or whatever. No matter your state of mind and/or health, you are in my prayers and hopes for a better future.
