The title is “Thanksgiving.”  No, I’m not mixing up the holidays, but offering thanks for friends and family gathering together from near and not-so-near and sharing their gift of friendship and love.  You don’t need to be religious to do that; just human.  So look around at your world: your family, if they are near, or friends, co-workers, neighbors, even that person down the street that you don’t know but lift a hand in greeting as you go by and exchange a nod.  We all share a common bond; we all live on the same spaceship; we all seek comfort in good times and sorrow, at celebration and mourning.

I am thankful to have my friends, my family, my circle.  Peace.
