Happy Thanksgiving Everyone...
Wishing you all a holiday full of cheer, good company, and an awesome Thanksgiving dinner. May you and your loved ones be blessed with good fortune, good health, and the wealth of knowing you are loved.
These figurines in the picture certainly aren’t a traditional Thanksgiving representation, yet during the holidays I am always drawn to them. They aren’t expensive pieces by any means, but priceless to me because of how they came down through the family. My grandmother inherited them from her aunt, then to my mom, and then to me. They’re about 100 years old.
As the years went by these simple figurines inspired me in so many different ways. They always kindle warm remembrances of family past (especially when I contemplate my family's future). They have a quiet dignity, so very humble.
My family always demonstrated love and generosity. Always optimistic, full in faith, and thankful. They always gave it forward knowing the best in us was yet to come.
Have a wonderful holiday and be thankful... Kiss your kids, hug your relatives and friends, America is a wonderful experiment and so are you!
