I’m sure there are all sorts of things we could collect to commemorate Thanksgiving.

I myself collect dishes with turkeys on them and amber glassware and ceramic pumpkins, of course.  However, I think there are other, more important “things” to collect to honor the sentiment of Thanksgiving.

For example, we could collect…

  • appreciation, gratitude, and thankfulness
  • beneficence, blessings, and gifts
  • gladness, happiness, and joy
  • family, kin, and relatives
  • home, hearth, and warmth
  • celebrations, dinners, and feasts

I’m sure you, too, can think of other “things” to collect that mean far more than the collectibles, decorations, and dust-catchers that we acquire.

While we’re thinking of all the “things” we have to be thankful for, let’s make sure we enjoy the upcoming holiday with the ones we love and let them know how important they are to us.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.
