Thanksgiving Day

I am thankful for my husband and children. I am thankful to live in this country where I have so much freedom. I can move around town or the entire country as I wish. I can earn money and save it and spend it. I can attend any church I want to. I can kneel down and pray on a street corner if I choose and won't get arrested. I can argue for, and against, politicians and presidents. I can trash talk. I can praise. I can learn. I can vote for representation in the government. I can listen to music of any kind should I choose to do so. I can speak up, or keep quiet. I can talk to strangers. I am thankful that our nation allows diversity of values, thought and lifestyle. Only by allowing freedom to all can we preserve our own.
