Hi Linda, a lovely free verse with a very warm sentiment. I like the idea of -

it's time to unpack those winter blankets
get out those long flannel pj's
curl up on the couch in front of a warm fireplace
with a cup of hot chocolate,
a bowl of pop corn covered in melted butter,
and watch your favorite holiday movie........ sounds good to me!!!

and - Happy Thanksgiving
from me to you
love you, Linda xxoo

Linda

Part poem, part blessing and the best of the two worlds. While we are not friends I feel friendly toward you. The love and compassion in your words is admirable.

Hello Linda. I almost missed your "Happy Thanksgiving" wish to everyone.

Thank you, my friend, for your happy thoughts. I love all the things that you have mentioned. We just had our coldest Thanksgivings morning that I can remember and a lot of other northeastern states did also. This weather is going crazy. I've got a strange feeling that we're going to have a long hard winter.

Are you still in Florida or back in Illinois? Where ever you're at, take care of yourself and the family. Happy holidays to you and yours. I'll be talking to you soon, good Lord willing...Bill

    Hi Bill, I am back in Illinois...my daughter made Thanksgiving dinner a few days early when I was there...it was wonderful...so I was just going to rest on Thanksgiving Day...my girlfriend asked me over...but I really just wanted to stop for a minute...

    I have a friend named John...he used to live a couple blocks from me...he moved to Georgia a few months ago...so when I got back he called...he was moving back here...they found cancer in his lung...and it is spreading to his shoulder...he dropped 50 pounds and looks awful...he has been having trouble eating...so I asked him if I could make him Thanksgiving dinner...and he said no...he said he just wanted to go and get some soup somewhere...just to go out...so we went to a place called...Southern Kitchens...as we talked Bill...I just wanted to cry...but I didn't want him to feel bad...he was talking about all the things he felt he had don't wrong in life...I told him we would have been sitting there a year if I told him all I had done wrong in life...he just smiled...it will be a Thanksgiving I will never forget...he has to see the doctor next week...I'm going to go with him...and I am helping him clean up the home he just got...when you said good Lord willing...so true...I did tell him they are doing miracles with cancer these days...and with prayer...never say never...today he did seem better...I believe Bill...sometimes just having someone to be there...helps you feel better...

    so now that I have cheered you up...LOL...I hope you, your family and friends had a wonderful cold Thanksgiving Day...LOL...ya know...as much as I didn't want to go anywhere...I'm glad God put me where He did...with my friend...

    thank you so much my wonderful friend for all your lovely stars...and an awesome review...talk to you soon as well...take care...and stay warm...I think you are right...it's going to be a cold one...burrrrrrrrr...love to you...Linda xxoo

    I just wanted to write back and tell you about my brother after I read your message about your good friend John.

    He was diagnosed with lung cancer way back in 2006. They removed about half of his left lung and he did the chemo treatment. About a year later he was cancer free and still is today. He used to smoke 3 or 4 packs of Kool Menthol cigarettes every day.

    Hopefully, John will have the same outcome. As you know, all we can do is put it in the Lord's Hands...I will pray for him.

    Take care of yourself and stock up on blankets. We just had our first ice storm a few days ago and our power was out for one night and one day.

    Talk to you later, I hope!....your old buddy...Bill

Great thought, prayers for the victims of the fires, for the homeless people who are on the roads in both hemispheres...and a cheerful description of what we hope is all around...excellent.

Linda, this is such a sweet Thanksgiving poem/blessing. I loved the stanzas about touching the lives of those who are homeless and those suffering with the fires this time of year. It is so true that most are so filled with lots of blessings in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Linda. Our hearts go out to those unfortunate people who were effected by that fire in California, and for the homeless. God Bless them. It is time to snuggle up to the fire alright. We had our first sprinkling of snow on Thanksgiving. Well done. Nancy:)

What a heartfelt poem. Thank you for taking the time to do this. My family and friends don't understand how I can feel so close to people that I have never met. We at FanStory have a special bond though. It's undeniable. Most of us will never meet, but we are close. Wouldn't it have been fun growing up in a community like ours? We are as individual as can be, but like minded nevertheless.
I wish you happy holidays as well, my friend.
