Happy Thanksgiving

Many of us gather around a large feast to give thanks to our blessings. A few people will have everyone share what they are thankful for (some begrudgingly lol) , and for way too many families people will go about their their own ways right afterwards. The good news not all families run from the dinner table.Either way I would like to ask each family to do even more together than they normally would this weekend and throughout the coming holidays.

A culture is defined by its' values. Lets put ourselves first again. There are many great attributes to our country and who we are and have been. Yet we are losing our identity because we don't preserve it. We are a nation of immigrants ( why this holiday came about), we bring many wonderful traditions to this country, but we all share one common goal. Everyone comes here to find a better life. Lets not forget.

Lets take time to give thanks today like the Pilgrims did, but let us also rededicate ourselves to striving to make this country wonderful. This post isn't about immigration (there are some changes that need to be made and nothing on the table from either side is the answer), but rather about all the shared cultures, the longing for something better, the drive to succeed, and the great country all of us has built.

Please spend time with your loved ones cherishing the history of your family, the dreams your ancestors had when they came here, and enjoy what we have done. Give thanks to yourself and remember though what we have is special. Enjoy the whole weekend with your family,build relationships, mend fences, and dream together.

Have a great Thanksgiving, help those who need help not just today, and remember where you came from....someone made an effort for you.


Happy Thanksgiving
