As Tom Thibeault posted the above image on facebook, it had me immediately pondering over how life gives us so much to be so grateful for, and yet how often misery it seems is the best we can hold on too. As Tom cooks for his family in this outdoor kitchen set-up just for Thanksgiving, I hope we can all take a few minutes to be grateful for all that we have, knowing that nothing is a guarantee, and realizing another may not be as blessed.
I am thankful for life, friends and acquaintances, my large extended family, mentors and detractors, having a vocation that inspires, a farm and home that is beyond idyllic, and for food at the table.
As one Tom to another, I appreciate how well you communicate. Through your writing, you put me in the driveway and at the table--two places I would have loved to do more than read about. You accomplished something every author desires, you connected with your readers. Thanksgiving dinner at your house sounded wonderful.
