Thanksgiving -- We here have a lot to be grateful for
 

Yes, it is the day of Thanksgiving.
We here on site have a lot to be grateful for.
Such as;

Most of us here are sober today.
Most of us here will enjoy a nice meal today with family and friends.
Most of us here enjoy homes with electricity and water.

Let us not forget today the one's around the world that are suffering.
It is too easy for us to forget that for some in this world
wars are going on and many die each day.

Little ones and grownups dying for lack of food and clean drinking water.

If we are ones who pray (most here I would think)
Let us remember the ones who suffer today.
The ones who are not as fortunate as us.

And oh yes, let us not forget the ones who still suffer with addictions.
For I remember a Thanksgiving when I was so drunk and loaded,
I stayed in bed most of the day,
and did not make it to my parent's home for this special meal.

A nice Thanksgiving wished for all,
from

Reminded today of an old guy many years ago who I met in AA. He would share often that "if you are having a hard time believing in a Higher Power, buy a bird feeder and watch God's little birds for a while." I just went out and filled our bird feeders.

As one who has worked with water for much of my life (still working part time testing water wells for productivity and portability) we should be very grateful for clean drinking water.

Approx. 300 million people in the world do not have clean drinking water
