One of the beauties of the holiday for me is that it is about gratitude and connection, not materialism. Perhaps some of your views come from a connection with the Native Americans, perhaps even a past life experience as one. Or it could be the attitude of people in a simpler time when they were still more conscious about what they were doing, instead of living in mass produced oblivion of don't ask/don't tell. (Anyways, it is my attitude, also.) I am thankful that it is possible to buy meat at places like New Season's where they can tell you who raised the animal and vouch for its good treatment. I try to buy cage free chicken eggs as much as possible, for these poor creatures whether raised for eggs or meat often live unbelievable lives. I am most thankful today for my family, immediate and extended, for my friends, for being able to afford a home, for work that I love, for good health, good plentiful food, that I am with a man I can respect, admire and love. As a bumper sticker aptly says, "The Best Things in Life Aren't Things." Happy Thanksgiving to all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-35300516108076968092008-11-27T09:48:00.000-08:002008-11-27T09:48:00.000-08:00Thank you, Kristin, for all you do for all of us e...Thank you, Kristin, for all you do for all of us every day.
