Thanksgiving is just around the corner, for most it means a big meal with friends and family. For some it is a day to stand in line with a secret hope, a dream, or possibly a distinct memory comes to mind.
As the line moves forward, a grin from the person across the table serves a portion of the special meal of the day, endearing the words Happy Thanksgiving is softly given.
For some homeless individuals their situation is documented, while other remain anonymous, yet homeless or not the felt emotion is the same.
Such as what does Thanksgiving bring to those whom are in a care home or senior living home. The luck of not being homeless is a welcome gratitude, when the mind allows the kindness of the people surrounding them, welcomes the knowing.
Many are family-less, sharing little pieces of the youth puzzle that once was, among fellow acquaintance or a friend taking time to hear his or her voice.
Thanksgiving is just the way it reads, giving-thanks within the moments of sharing, a special thought, the little grin, a kind word. The unknown author of “Gratitude is the best attitude” speaks so clearly and simply for all mankind and me.
May this one moment of the Thanksgiving Day bring a special memory for you and yours.
Angels do know!
