Alone For Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving day I found myself with
no plans, so I decided to spend the
afternoon at a multiplex cinema. After
watching my second movie, I noticed that
the same group of people was waiting for
yet another movie to start. We were all
unattached on what should have been a
day of family togetherness.

So I suggested we all go to one of the
mall restaurtants for our own Thanksgiving
dinner. The bunch of us, two elderly women,
one teenager, two middle-aged men and a
young woman with a toddler, enjoyed a
festive meal with lively talk. As we
left, another patron told me, "I envy
you and your family. You were having such
a great time." She had no idea we were
total strangers who became a family,
even if just for that one day.

Thanksgiving Time Line Story

I was reading a book aloud to my class
about Squanto and the first Thanksgiving.
Near the end, I came to the part about
the great feast where people gathered
together, partied and celebrated for days.
I paused to add, "And we all know the name
of that special celebration..."
One student called out, "Woodstock!"

Thanksgiving Gratitude

O Thou, whose bounty fills my cup
With every blessing meet!
I give Thee thanks for every drop~
The bitter and the sweet.
I praise Thee for the desert road,
And for the riverside;
For all Thy goodness hath bestowed,
And all Thy grace denied.
- Jane Crewdson

Thanksgiving dinner
is truly a magical meal.
It keeps reappearing for days.
- Linda Perret

In three words I can sum up
everything I've learned about life:
it goes on.
- Robert Frost
