Thanks for Friends at Thanksgiving

I got text messages and phone calls. Others left voice mail messages at work, at home and on my cell phone. They were contacting me to wish me a Happy Holiday.

Never before have so many people wanted to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving. Yes, I said Thanksgiving, not Christmas or New Year's. Sure, people have wished me a Happy Thanksgiving throughout the years but only in person, face to face. Even then it was only a casual, rather automatic sentiment.

I even got Happy Thanksgiving cards.

Why, I wonder?

Could it be that people are just learning what to be thankful for? Or maybe my group of friends are getting older and are like me, fully understanding that it doesn't matter the size of your house or the model of vehicle you drive. Maybe it only matters that we live in the best country with the best form of government (not the best politicians, though) there has ever been since Adam and Eve and the creation of the Earth.

I like it. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday of the year.

So, to Cheryl "Action Jackson" and Liz "Baby Girl" and Mary Beth "Strick 9" and Rae'Meka "Rae-Rae Yo Girlfriend" and Candy "Sweet Baby Sweet" and Lindsay "I'll Never" and Leisha "Loose Wheel" and Parker "Boy Band" and Michael "Write Boy" and many, many others ... especially Danny-boy.

Thanks for making me thankful on Thanksgiving.
