The Thanksgiving holiday is upon us. Regardless if your Thanksgiving dinner is for one or forty-one, it is a time of remembrance and thankfulness. I encourage everyone to pull up a chair and put down the cell phones. Actually converse with one another, catch up on happenings and discuss dreams of the future. As we express our gratitude for the blessings we have received, and praise those yet to come, also remember those who are less fortunate. If possible, invite someone who will be alone this holiday season, or drop them by a plate of food. Once everyone has partaken in the holiday spread, what to do with those leftovers? I have just the solution!
