For All That I Do Not Have...

Today I am taking a moment to reflect on the things that are missing from my life:
 

                       Poverty

                       Hunger

                       Failing health

                       Exposure to the elements

                       A child in trouble

                       Loneliness

                       Fear
                       Hatred

                       Need

                       Want

I am truly grateful to be without so many things in my life that others have and do not want, have and do not choose. I hope you enjoy the same bounty in your life. And, I hope you will take a moment, at least today, to recognize your very good fortune. If you find the items on my list are missing in your life as well, you may number yourself among the most fortunate on earth.  Happy Thanksgiving
