Living up to giving thanks and to those it is meant for

Well this is my 44th year of this thing called Thanksgiving. When I go back as far as I can in my memory I find it a time when I got to see all my ancestors at one point or another from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Irish-French on Mom's side, and Swedish-Germanic on the other. And for some strange reason, the only one besides mom still kickin, is my grandmothers sister, Dorothy. Ever since I can remember, she was the one my minds eye said would out live all, and she has. She was the rock when my dad took the journey. She taught me manners. Thank you. Olive Juice, Dorothy!
Mom...What can I say? Thank you for giving me the path into the world. I do what I can, and will someday give you that mark on the world that you like to see one of us make. I do that only for you. Thank you.
Boy's! If, & when you lay your peep's on this one, remember...I see this world for what it is, and she ain't bad looking. My goal is to make her understand that on a personal level. Imagine. Communicating with the Earth. That is what you 2 have given me. Those thoughts. Thank You!

All of you out there in "The Biz"...I thank you for tolerating me. I know that there is no box I can think outside of, it's more like a plastic bag. I let all of you know what it is and isn't I am thinking. I still follow my herding instincts I developed from generations gone by, and very long ago. Some of you ground me in the history of this dimension, and keep me fluid in knowledge of things that are past. Those are the one's I am drawn to.
Berto, CRC & EARSXXI, Dugsy Do Write, AWNB, Catherine, Alan T., Bella Dona, Phil R., Yanqui, Gene Day, Charlee S., Shabaaz. THANK YOU!
And of course I will not leave out my spiritual development and instructors. These are the ones who showed me that path to speak to the Earth. The one true creature that can save us. For showing me a medicine path, I say WOPILA! WOPILA to Kaya, Grizzly, Roger Fire Man, Slick, Sompnono, Little Bear & all his family, David Swallow and all his Sun Dancers, All those who are still practicing a way that is in balance with the Earth. Thank you.
And for all the living things in the Universe, I say thank you to you things for what you do for all of the other creations in this vast Universe. Thank you for all the elements! The things that make our water and air. Thank you!

And there! I gave my thanks!
Ciao for now, Barn
