Once upon a time a long, a long time ago (before Black Friday) Thanksgiving was a celebration of harvest and a time to give thanks. Hence the name thanksgiving.
I don’t think the early pilgrims had a Super Walmart, a Sears or a Best Buy yet somehow they managed. Can you imagine having to grow your own food and prepare it without the help of google? When did they have time? Where did they get their Stove Top stuffing and who plucked the turkeys? How did those crazy pilgrims do it?
I didn’t really know any of those pilgrims but I did see a John Wayne movie once. John knew a pilgrim when he saw one. He seemed to know a lot of pilgrims but that was a long time ago too.

A Commentary by John J. Rigo in the Blessings of a full life. Copyright 2013 John J. Rigo
My wife is a meticulous housekeeper. It is a huge challenge at present. We are blessed in now having three homes and one commercial property to keep up while we are in the process of “down sizing,” and planning for what we hope will be our long-term retirement.
I shot this picture early this morning with my Samsung Smartphone. It is a picture of the fireplace in our lake home in Gun Barrel City, Texas. I felt a sense of beauty with the lone web extending to the tip of the candle holder. Even my wife got humor when I pointed it out and did not say, “Oh My God, I need to clean this place.” We both were thankful for our full and busy life with our “projects” and I especially, with my “Honey-Do List.” Blessings this day to my WordPress family in their celebration of this coming Thanksgiving holiday.
