THANKSGIVING IS....

Thanksgiving is a
time of gratitude to God,
our Creator and Provider,
whose guidance and care
go before us...
and whose love
is with us forever.

Thanksgiving is a time
to reflect on the changes,
to remember that we, too,
grow and change
from one season of life to another.

Thanksgiving is a time
of changing seasons,
when leaves turn golden
in Autumn's wake
and apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.

Let us remember the true meaning
of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty
of Autumn, let us acknowledge
the many blessings
which are ours...
let us think of our families
and friends..
and let us give thanks in our hearts.

Plans? Just a lot of catch-up work. May treat myself to a Thanksgiving pizza.

Enjoy you vacation. I’m from California. What part are you visiting?

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Thanksgiving pizza sounds good.

I’m in Arroyo Grande, near Pismo Beach. This is where I lived before moving to Alaska. I come back here every Thanksgiving.

I always stay with my “sister” (best friend from 30+ years ago). She, her son, DIL, grandson are going down to LA (3+ hrs) for Thanksgiving dinner with son #2, DIL, and 2nd grandson. They are leaving at 7a and returning sometime after dark. I’m babysitting her dog. My knees and cranky hip could not handle the backseat for that long. Airplanes seats did me in on the way down here. Luckily I have a chiropractor I see each year when I’m here.

She made me a turkey breast and I’ve already had a turkey sandwich. I am snug and happy.

Update from Canteener whose Mom is fighting cancer and in need of prayers.....

My mom got transfered to a short term nursing facility in the town she lives in. She has a blood infection caused by nocardia. She is not an hour away now and we can visit her many times throughout the day, instead of driving an hour and visiting with her for an hour then driving back home.

She was very thankful to get out of the hospital.

She is weak, but better.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers continue for your Mom and her doctors,
as well as you and your family.

Fight On!!

Dear Cancer Fighting Canteener’s Mom;

I’m praying for you to have the strength to fight off this infection, and ultimately the cancer. God bless you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Have a Blessed day, Cindy.
