Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Indulge! Overeat! Overhug! Boys: Look up from the TV football, once an hour, just for a quick smile ... even if it kills you. (My closest friend leaves the TV on all day no sound at all.)

Say a special prayer for all of our young women and young men in harm's way on T'day.

Happy Thanksgiving - a fabulous tradition - thankful that I can run and ski and have plenty to dine on and an incredible water / mountain view house to reside in for now - and to have a healthful body to move around in ...

Thanks Tom for mentioning the incredible heroic men and women who are in harms way and stay up all night to make the free world safer - free isn't free as we know - thankful for the courage of these wonderful young people.

Your blog is great. We've had your book up on our Currently Reading part of our blog for the last month. Re:Imagine! Great book.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for all the insight over the years including the latest 500+ PowerPoint slide show you gave at the RLG conference. I am slecting various slides to read off to my children in conjunction with business news of the day (like GM laying off 30,000 workers).

Though we don´t celebrate thanksgiving day in Europe, I wish you a very happy day.

Dear Tom: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. While we don't formally celebrate T'giving here in India, it's a tradition I picked up from my time in the States. P.S. Just picked up 'Re-Imagine', btw, and having a blast with it! Rock on, Tom, and I hope they never take you alive. Cheers.

Will do! Happy Thanksgiving!

Tom,
Sometimes I agree with you. Sometimes you piss me off. And with posts like these, you touch my heart. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. And to everyone at TP.com!
And, yes, you can count on me to include our service men and women overseas in my prayers-always. Godspeed.

Interesting remark from donhz... 'Sometimes you piss me off'.

I almost always enjoy and learn from the originating TP posts - never get pissed off. My issue is with the long line of witless responses that often follow - which detract from the overall impact of the site and draw it into chatosphere territory best left to 'today I did some knitting - and while you're here check out my flickr photos of our new dog' girlie sites.

Jeez. Either I'm being unduly harsh, or some frequent posters are batting light. I wish for better.

;-)

With more celebrations like Thanksgiving there won't be need for overdoing anything (!). We could start trying to remember the thanks all the other dates of the calendar.

BTW, my belated and sincere thanks to the frequent contributors at TPs, some of your brilliant comments have in many occasions made my day!
