Wow, this time last year who knew what we were heading into for 2020....

With an opening statement like that, it would certainly be easy to conclude there is little IF ANYTHING to be thankful for in such a dismal, downer, deadly and dastardly year such as this one. Afterall, 250,000 of our citizens (and counting) have been taken from us sooner than they should have and the pain and suffering around the world has been incredibly sorriful.

HOWEVER (isn’t there always one of those?), our forefathers who started this thing called Thanksgiving had ridden through a pretty rough patch themselves at the time. Yet, they found time to pause, reflect, and realize that YES, there were things — maybe a number of them — to be thankful for.

When the chips are down and times are tough (we’ve all been in tough times before; we all know, in one way or the other, how bad things can be sometimes), that can be when even the smallest blessings of life can take on much greater significance.

I hope each here is able to spend time with those they love and care for the most in this life and that you can do it safely. And I hope each, in their own way, can take a few minutes and run through their minds the things that they have to be thankful for this year, in spite of the many sad realities that have been brought to bear on us.

I am thankful for many things this eve, but to this audience specifically, I am thankful for the resource this site is and for each who brings their insights, histories, skills, humor and comments to this site on a daily basis.

To each, I wish you a Happy, Safe, Love-filled, and secure Thanksgiving 2020!

Earl
