Give thanks

It's almost October's end. Everything is yellow and orange--decorations sit outside each house--corn stalks and gourds, pumpkins getting devoured by squirrels, Fun fests, and bake sales, and costumes decided on. Then we all start to think Thanksgiving and holidays. Still, take the time to enjoy each day--even the chilly ones, for those of us in the Midwest--savor as many moments as you can. Appreciate every possible human interaction. And remember that this year, in 2007, hords of people have had to flee their neighborhoods and homes--wildfires in the southern CA region. Remember to realize your blessings and give thanks.
