35. Beautiful post. That empty feeling? I know exactly what that is.

Nov 2019

And I feel much compassion for those who for some reason cannot be with their families.

I have been greatly blessed. This Thanksgiving I'll be with my wife, my son, my daughter and her two small children. My health is OK, not real good, but OK. I'm not hungry. I'm not homeless. I have a job and am still physically able to do that job. I have friends and a good name.

If any reading this feel empty and alone, you are not. There is a spirit of love in the air, and it is a love that transcends politics. It is a quiet assurance that you belong, that you have a right to be here, on this earth at this time.

Happy Thanksgiving, and be blessed!
