"LIfe's Fine But It t'aint easy"

Today is the one day I try to forget my problems and just remember how tough things were for the early Pilgrims. Face it, they had no Publix supermarket to shop at like I did today.

President Obama wrote an editorial about giving thanks for our blessings. He wrote about how the Pilgrims believed in providence and understanding thier blessings. You have to look to see miracles and perhaps the benevolence of the Indians was a gift. Their own survival was cause for thanks.

That is truly how I feel today.

A feast of spiral ham, turkey breast, green bean supreme and mashed potatoes with gravy await me while I watch the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Oakland Raiders. No Thanksgiving would be complete without that.

The Pilgrims had to go out and hunt. They looked for Tom Turkey or a large buck to feed their family. Hunting is still popular as sport. I hope it is still allowed beyond 2012.

Anyway, I'm alive; I made it another year. Things should get better.

Yes Tim things will get better. All we hve to do is hang in there. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Not talking about the food. As I recall the Thanksgiving week end was always good. Even if my left handed specials had a long week end off. Be safe out there.
