Considering the terrible news everywhere,
we must be thankful for the little things.
and so I am, and wanted to share such with you.

Great news report on how to spend your day giving without really trying
(Obama stuff)

3. I found this at the youtube link you posted. It is by Ellison Horne.
One of the comments:

Ellison, Hearing the news of her passing the day before the election and knowing what that must have meant to him, was quite extraordinary. It's ultimately the Grandmothers who carry us so far on our roads in life and this is a fitting memorial to a beautiful woman. Thank you for this moving tribute.


It created a lump in my throat and brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you for your post. It was heartwarming to see our P/E and his family demonstrate what true humanity and kindness are..

5. My sweet husband went out on his lunch hour,
bought a 12lb. turkey and brought it to the St. Anthony's dining room. That should feed about 10 hungry people. Even after 20 years of marriage he still surprises me!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.......don't eat too much...............

8. Fucking A, how I love my new Prez!
Between you and Jackeens, I can count on my Obama fix. This tears at my heart, because this is what Obama loves to do--get out amongst the people and show his love. What a beautiful thing.

11. Thank you.


Good to see we have a soon to be president who actually cares about people!

Loved the photos at the food bank. I've been one of those folks standing in a food line, and was deeply grateful for the kindness of strangers.
