Wishing You A Terrific Thanksgiving

“The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth” (1914) By Jennie A. Brownscombe

It has been a little over a year since Superstorm Sandy, and one thing that we can all be thankful for this Thanksgiving is the progress made in our march to normalcy. Most – although not all – of our neighbors are back in their homes, our business corridors are reopened, and plans to make our coastal communities more resilient are underway.

For many of us, it has been a trying year unlike any other, and we should all take a moment from our day to think of those still struggling from Sandy, or from the myriad other challenges that beset us in life.

But today is Thanksgiving, a day in which we reflect, with appreciation, on those small gifts that gild our daily lives with an oft unnoticed measure of happiness. Friends, family, food. A good joke, a fine wine, a new experience. Whatever it is for you that brings warmth when cold, a light in the night, or direction in the tempestuous seas of life.

There are 364 others days in the year to drudge through the cold, bitter muck of the rest of it.

We at Sheepshead Bites wish our readers, our neighbors and our business partners a warm, happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

We’ll be back on Monday, December 2.
