Which brings up another thought

[alicen1drlnd]

 As an afterthought, and those of you who know me know I have those often, there is something about Thanksgiving.  Now I am very thankful but  finding another reason to over-eat or travel to distant places, the process of the parades with oversized floats, childlike faces anticipating the arrival of the mythical guy in the red fat suit, who was suppose to arrive only the night before Christmas and not be seen, Football Games and Black Friday for retailers who gauge one years profits off of us idiots who slap those plastic cards down without a care in the world as to how we are going to pay for it....you just have to pause and think more about the larger picture.   I will be home Thanksgiving and remembering people I love and wishing for less suffering in the world. 
Huge Hugs!
Off My Podium. (applause now)
