Giving Thanks


This may not look like your typical "Thanksgiving Feast" that is because this particular meal was prepared for those who traveled to Jamaica in January 08.  But, it is that time of year once again, time to give Thanks, time to over eat and hate ourselves and then nod off in a slumber. I am going to be going to a nursing home tomorrow with a friend of mine to deliver two centerpieces.  I think we take for granted having people to surround ourselves with this time of year.  There are many people out there who don't have that option.  People who on a daily basis watch those who reside near them, receive visitors, friends, family come and keep them company even for just a little while.  During this time, day in and day out; they have no one to come and talk to them.  It breaks my heart how lonely that must be.  I hope to be able to be that visitor for two people tomorrow.  Maybe, it will help them realize they are appreciated, even by a complete stranger.
