I agree with Carl. I can think of nothing better to do on TG than watching football and Zen Lill.

So when may we expect our reward for our patience? Will we have to wait to look under our Michelle blog for Xmas or could you be prompted for a little promo around Thanksgiving.

If you don’t usually say grace before meals, you might want to start doing so this Thanksgiving — and whenever your family dines together.

It’s a way to remind ourselves of all we have to be thankful for. Plus, for many families, the evening meal is the only time spent together. Grace provides an opportunity to reflect on how precious this time is.

If you say grace often, you may want to change what you say occasionally so that the words don’t become rote and meaningless.

We have collected more than 300 mealtime graces from around the world. Some of our favorites…

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson, Unitarian minister, poet and essayist (1803-1882)

May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May all beings be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow. May all never be separated from the sacred happiness which is sorrowless. May all live in equanimity, without attachment or aversion, believing in the equality of all that lives.
– Traditional Buddhist prayer

Thank heaven for this food and for this company. May it be good for us.
– Greek prayer

May we be a channel of blessings for all that we meet.
– Edgar Cayce, American spiritualist (1877-1945)

God of pilgrims, give us always a table to Stop at where we can Tell our story and Sing our song. –
Father John Giuliani (1932-), Benedictine Grange, West Redding, Connecticut

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.
– Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, author (1907-1972)

How do you know that one of those men who wrote in wasn’t your husband or one of his lovers attempting to convince you NOT to spy on him?
