Thanksgiving is a holiday tradition with deep roots in our country - starting with the early Thanksgiving celebrations by colonists in Massachusetts and Virginia. In the middle of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln issued a presidential proclamation declaring a national day of thanksgiving, a tradition that presidents since then have followed.
As 2007 begins to wind down, we pause during this season of the year to remember the many gifts in our lives during the year. Despite the bumps and struggles we all face in life, we do indeed have much to be thankful for - family, friends, housing, food, jobs, peace, safety, health. The list could go on.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday with family and friends, I want to wish you the very best. May it be a time of rest, joy, satisfaction, and reflection on the many things we have to be thankful for.
