I've been celebrating Thanksgiving for 85 years and still counting my blessings | Opinion
Briefly

"The Thanksgiving season—the preparations, the turkey and all the trimmings—makes me stop and think. I think about the homeless people who have to stand in line for a Thanksgiving meal."
"I can't help but think of the people who are dodging bombs and bullets in other parts of the world. They are running for their life, trying to find a safe spot to be in, if only for a little while."
"I arose this morning to the sound of blissful birds chirping... I woke up knowing who I am and where I am. That makes me, dear friends, truly blessed."
"I don’t take it for granted when I make it back home safely. I am aware of who gave me a safe trip, who held me back inside my house for a few minutes longer because of an unseen danger on the streets."
