thanksgiving

Because thankfulness is the tonic that always cures the cancers of greed, envy and jealously, it should be taken in liberal doses daily.

If I continually focus on what I don__ have, my life will always be completely empty despite the fact that it__ completely full.

You shouldn't allow people who hurt you to occupy a fraction of your heart. Forgive and move on, especially in this season of thanksgiving.

On this thanksgiving, I would like to thank that one girl, who never lost hope despite all odds were against her, who always worked, and moved on, despite losing all friends just after leaving school, a time when you need friends the most! Who had immense strength and will-power and so much inspiration inside her that she ended up being happy, satisfied, and successful, all alone. That one girl who always smiles in the mirror, and says, 'Bitch, you have a long way to go, and you gotta travel all alone, depending upon anyone will make you weak, so buck up, there's a lot you gotta do!' On this thanksgiving, I thank myself, my soul for being so majestically robust! I would have thanked other people, but sadly, nobody ever helped me, more than I helped myself...

Be sure that your praise songs are numbered higher than your sorrowful dirges and your utmost hope, firmer than your woeful regrets. Be positive.

Make sure that your heartfelt thanksgiving is more consistent than your nagging needs and your passionate apology fervent than your unhealthy justifications. Be clean and hopeful.

There is no Thanksgiving back in the old country where I come from. You know why? Because being thankful is a sin.

Always be of good cheer.

Everything that I hold will eventually be gone. Subsequently, the quality of my life will depend on whether I choose to appreciate those things __ow_ or wait until __hen.

Be grateful for who you are and what you will be.

If people begin to be more grateful, they will see the wonders of life.

Overeating at Thanksgiving is a case in point. It's a national tradition.

What__ up, Albert?___ell, I__e done inventory at Ralph__, and I think if I had a lot of help, I could put together an okay Thanksgiving dinner.__am stared at him. He blinked. __hat?___hanksgiving. It__ next week.___h-huh.___here are ovens at Ralph__, big ones. And no one has taken the frozen turkeys. Figure two hundred and fifty kids if pretty much everyone from Perdido Beach shows up, right? One turkey will feed maybe eight people, so we need thirty-one, thirty-two turkeys. No problem there, because there are forty-six turkeys at Ralph__.___hirty-one turkeys?___ranberry sauce will be no problem, stuffing is no problem, no one has taken much stuffing yet, although I__l have to figure out how to mix, like, seven different brands and styles together, see how it tastes.___tuffing,_ Sam echoed solemnly.__e don__ have enough canned yams, we__l have to do fresh along with some baked potatoes. The big problem is going to be whipped cream and ice cream for the pies.__am wanted to burst out laughing, but at the same time he found it touching and reassuring that Albert had put so much thought into the question.__ imagine the ice cream is pretty much gone,_ Sam said.__eah. We__e very low on ice cream. And kids have been taking the canned whipped cream, too.___ut we can have pie?___e have some frozen. And we have some pie shells we can bake up ourselves.___hat would be nice,_ Sam said.____l need to start three days before. I__l need, like, at least ten people to help. I can haul the tables out of the church basement and set up in the plaza. I think I can do it._____l bet you can, Albert,_ Sam said with feeling.__other Mary__ going to have the prees make centerpieces.___isten, Albert__lbert raised a hand, cutting Sam off. __ know. I mean, I know we may have some great big fight before that. And I heard you have your fifteenth coming up. All kinds of bad stuff may happen. But, Sam___his time, Sam cut him off. __lbert? Get moving on planning the big meal.___eah?___eah. It will give people something to look forward to.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

Life can be awful. Life can be ugly.And still there are those who smile at the darkness, anticipating the beauty of an eventual sunrise.

Black Friday _ (AKA Zombie Apocalypse)Is an event of subset half-dead human like beings confronted with ravenous bloodthirsty monsters preparing to pummel down the doors mid-afternoon on Thanksgiving Day.

The pondering heart is a thankful heart.

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.
