Thanksgiving is Near

Thanksgiving is approaching. For me, the emphasis on family and friends is essential to Thanksgiving. Interacting with others is what this day, in its simplicity, is all about. The epitome of Thanksgiving is sharing. I am agog to spend the day in the presence of family; sharing food, sharing stories, and most importantly strengthening a family’s earnest love. Allow time to extend the giving to strangers and those less fortunate than yourself. You could volunteer at a homeless shelter or perhaps invite a neighbor over.
Also, take this opportunity to share some knowledge about food and how it reflects one’s personality; as Wendell Berry states, “[H]ow we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used.”
