I am thankful every day, Sabba Hillel. I just don’t post about it.

I’m thankful that things are no worse Chez Moi than they were last year, and that we have a cat about the house again,.

A 3-legged dog walks into a saloon in Dodge and says, “I’m looking for the varmint that shot my Paw”.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I’m just thankful for life.

(and I don’t have to eat that hideous green bean casserole my sister makes)

I thank G-d for our family, children and grandchildren. I thank him for sending me the latest birthday gift by having my newest grand-daughter born on my (English) birthday.

For those who think that Mashiach is due 200 years before the end of the sixth “day”, only thirty years more to go (assuming we have not miscounted).

An interesting item is that apparently many “Anglos” in Israel (Olim from the U.S.) continue to celebrate Thanksgiving.

We should realize that every day is Thanksgiving and we should be thankful for living in the “Goldeneh Medinah” the only country in the world that has welcomed us and let us live in freedom. Even the “Golden Age” of Spain was just tolerant and not as free as we are now.

I’m thankful for my family and friends (our “chosen family”).

I’m thankful for my health… and the health of the people I love.

I’m thankful for the ability call myself an American citizen.

I’m thankful for the technology that allows me to meet (both online and face-to-face) people like Meryl Yourish, despite our living hundreds of miles apart.

And I pose the question: What’s grey and white on the inside, and red and white on the outside? Why, Campbell’s Cream of Elephant Soup, of course. (Makes a dandy green bean casserole, too.)
