Giving thanks on Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

However you define your “community” today, consider thinking about what you are grateful for on this Thanksgiving 2009. Fellow blogger Debra Thornley “Jump Write In” last week urged readers to write a Memoir of gratitude.

Every Thanksgiving I ask whomever I am enjoying a meal with, to reflect upon just ONE thing they are grateful for.

I am expressing my gratitude for being alive and healthy, as two female friends suddenly lost their middle-aged sisters-in-law this year, one to a fatal heart attack, the other to breast cancer which had spread. Another friend of mine Bill is battling lung cancer and I send him my best wishes and prayers today as well.

Good holiday wishes also to fellow Tucson Citizen bloggers and editors Mark Evans and Ryn Gargulinski, and to our loyal readers, supporters, and advertisers.

We have been online now as “The Voice of Tucson” (at www.tucsoncitizen.com) for over 6 months! That’s really something to be grateful for.
