The purpose of the day, of course, is to thank the Almighty for the many blessings we have been given...

I am thankful to live in a free country.   (Have you ever thought of how unique it is that in this country, we can criticize the president right here on this blog -- and nobody comes knocking at our door???)

I am thankful for my family, who have made so many sacrifices for me over the years.

I am thankful for the new addition to my family this year, Uncle Rico.

I am thankful for my health.

I am thankful for the opportunity to get to spend a lot of my time working for a cause I believe in.

What are you thankful for this year?
