Beloved,
I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. It is one holiday that we can treat ourselves with good food whether you are alone or dining with friends or family. The very fact that we have food that we have not had to grow or hunt for is a reason for thanks. There is such a bounty that we can choose whatever it is we wish to eat. Except….real turkey gravy. I discovered this when I thought I would be alone on this holiday and my mouth was watering for turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. I need to be gluten free so that narrows my choices. Although I could get real turkey in the deli, which I did, it never seems to taste like the roasted turkey you cook yourself, even the texture is different. I went to a specialty store and found packets of turkey gravy but after I cooked it, I could not eat it. It was so salty and tasteless. I had bought 4 packets (which I promptly threw in the trash), 2 for me and 2 for my son who also needs to be gluten free. I finally settled for chicken gravy bought at Stop n shop which was at least pleasant to taste. After a Thanksgiving invitation from my son for today, I decided I would eat the turkey dinner I had made for myself yesterday. I can’t wait to have “real” turkey and gravy though; my mouth is watering as I write about this. Although you can tell I like the holiday fixings, the thing I am most grateful for is the camaraderie of family and friends.
I am very thankful for you. You are a friend who I “feel” every time I write my newsletter. Without you, there would be no need for me to write a newsletter. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and share some intimate moments of my life while I pass along wisdom and laughter from others.
As I was in my morning meditation and prayers yesterday, I heard quite a ruckus outside. I finally gave up and looked out my window and saw geese, 48 of them, all squawking because a cat had come onto the beach. This is the time of year when the geese gather together and practice their aerial maneuvers and line up before they actually fly south together. The cats like the large kitty litter box but come especially to get a drink of water. Usually the cat will go to the edge of lake while the geese retreat further out into the lake. This particular day, the geese decided to make a huge fuss and I believe it was because there were so many of them, they could. Well, the cat did not get his drink but he was not about to show any fear. He stayed clear of the water and slowly sauntered across the beach and out of sight.
This is for the child in you and for any other children with you now.

This is for you to remember how you used to kick up your heels. It is mind boggling to me how this could possibly be done but I don’t know much about computers so there must have been digital technology involved. I was in awe the whole way through. What a way to bring so many memories together.

The heart of this child is a model for all of us adults. He is so nonchalant. He saw a need and did his best to fulfill it. In the eyes of a child, there is no color, no race, no religion only another human he might be able to help. I am thankful that there are souls in the world who portray this.
Here is a message from the angels and also from a human angel.
