The Week of Thanksgiving

I may or may not do another entry titled “the giving of thanks”. If I do, that entry will be more centered on what I am thankful for. I truly believe that the day of thanksgiving is far overlooked by many. Yes, thanksgiving is about time to come together and share in [...]
