Thanksgiving 2006

It is that time of year again - THANKSGIVING ! And a time of reflection for the things for which I am thankful.

For Janet who keeps me straight

For Cuddles and Aidan, both who can tramatize and be loved at the same time.

For Mike and Melinda, always with joyous thoughts.

For Doctors who care deeply about their patients.

For opportunities to lead retreats and say prayers.

For music, and banana pudding, and friends who invite me to pray for their meals then give me a free meal.

For Ronald and Jimmi and neices and nephews

For nurses who really see the needs of their patients.

For books and radios and antennas that break and a yard now raked.

For great meals and birthdays and good words that linger from person to
person.

For rocks and mountains and paths through the woods.

For KN and PG and RC and SR and PM and C and DK and B and A and J and MK and LN and MP and AG and KS and a ton of others who make my days memorable.

For hotdogs and filet mignon and tater chips and grass and hot water and soap.

For elephants and giraffes and clear interstates and beautiful fall trees.

For the History Channel and Monasteries and strange stories.

For blogs and emails and trips and Big Sur.

For XM and AM and FM.

For health and God’s Blessings and for you the reader !

AND FOR FURMAN FISHER and his annual thanksgiving column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution that I have looked forward to each thanksgiving morning for over 30 years.

Bro. Dan with thanksgiving!!
