What a great holiday Thanksgiving is---no expectations other than to enjoy a pleasant meal with family or friends! (Well, I guess there IS the expectation that someone is going to cook that meal and clean up afterwards--another thing to be thankful for!)
Some of us have signs hanging our homes that say, "If you are lucky enough to live at the lake, you are lucky enough." Isn't that the truth? And, even more, we are blessed with friends and neighbors who form a supportive community around this lake and make our beautiful environment even better.
I'm very thankful for all you Carlin friends, and wish a happy Thanksgiving with safe travel for you and yours.
Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more:
Peace in the hearts of all men living,
peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.
~Joseph Auslander
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nice, Carm...we are feeling our blessings this morning too. Whatever you are doing this weekend, enjoy! Thank you for this fun blog, it keeps us all connected!! Safe travels!!
