Happy Thanksgiving!


Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving, it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart. Sarah Ban Breathnach


Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. Albert Schweitzer



Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin

Wishing you and yours the happiest of days. Friendship blessings, Tammy

    Happy Thanksgiving wherever you are!

    If home is where the heart is ...
    Then may your Home be blessed
    A shelter from the storms of Life
    A place of rest,
    And when each day is over
    And toil put in its place
    Your Home's dear warmth
    Will bring its smile
    To light the saddest face!

    - John McLeod

    Hi Tammy,
    you made me laugh outloud, no there is no international day for Thanksgiving, we celebrate it by an american who hosts it, for a lot of people from a lot of countries, that's why I called it our international Thanksgiving diner, actually an international one would be a good idea, perhaps less wars if people would stop and think for a day...?
    Enjoy your pumpkin, I have to wait till next week! Maureen x

    Hello Tammy!
    How nice to read those quotes for Thanksgiving weekend. I was trying to choose a favorite, but it's too hard - they are all wonderful. I hope you are enjoying a taste of Thanksgiving so far away. We are just trying to keep warm with unseasonable weather. It is in the 40's today but I've got the space heater running for my chilly Miss Gracie!

    Hugs,
    Sharon :-)

    Hello Tammie
    I always enjoy visiting you and reading your quotes/insights and viewing your photos.
    You light up the blogosphere Tammie!

    I'll be closing my blog this weekend, it has been a joyous couple of years getting to know and love people like you! Blogging is a bit too distracting and I need to focus on other things that are now very important in my life, like my new Foundation.

    So take care and keep shining my dear friend.
    Peggy xxxx

    PS I leave you with this quote:

    "Promise me you'll always remember,
    You're braver than you believe,
    and stronger than you seem,
    and smarter than you think.
    Christopher Robin to Pooh"
