Thanksgiving 2012 


I am grateful for so many people, so many things.  These are some of the things that give me joy, make me grateful, define the person I am.  And for all of them I am very grateful.

I invite all of you write your own Thanksgiving Alphabet.  When I started this, I thought it would be difficult, but the words just flowed and flowed.
