I love Thanksgiving. I love the idea of pausing to be consider and appreciate the local harvest, and those who have brought it to us. I love the idea of a celebration that is not focused on the giving of gifts, but rather on the expression of gratitude for the myriad gifts and blessings we experience each day in our lives. I love having the opportunity to spend time with my family.
