Thanksgiving week - do you really think about being thankful?

Thanksgiving. Pretty elementary word. Not much translation needed.
Thanks giving.
Giving thanks.

Do you ever really take a moment and think what you are truly thankful for?

This was a rough couple of weeks for some folks I know well, and for some simple acquaintances I don't know so well.

One sweet family buried their dear mother. She was loved to pieces and will be missed equally as much.

Another family buried their dear daughter, who hadn't had as much time to experience what life has to offer.

A woman with a baby had her house burn to the ground.

So, please take a moment to be thankful for what you are truly thankful for. Time is very fleeting.

I am so thankful to have an outstanding mother, sister and brother, as well as wonderful friends, an uncle who has been like a father to us Dawley kids, health, a picturesque town to live in... the list goes on forever.

How about you?

I am a Putnamaniac giving thanks every day for what I have (and I don't mean material things)!
