A Thanksgiving Eve Day Wish

November 24, 2010

Our little family isn’t doing much this year because of holiday work obligations that are tying up the time of my wife and son tomorrow, but we will all meet at the end of the day to break bread together and be thankful for all the right reasons.

Thank God for the riches of health, for the kind of love that reaches out as concern for others, for friendship with those who share our bond to life as the opportunity for creative experience, and for a wide open, full-throttle passion for living in peace, with no resentments or regrets. Those elements are all vital to spiritual peace, in my book, along with an acceptance of our need to battle back forever against any new or ancient adversity that attacks any of those essential facets of a full life.

My best wishes to all of you and yours for a most happy and peaceful Thanksgiving holiday. Take it – and make it beautiful.

Warm regards,

Bill McCurdy

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!

November 25, 2009

Things aren’t exactly slow around my house as we move into the Wednesday Eve of Thanksgiving Day. Publication deadlines (elsewhere), some commitments at the office, and relatives arriving from out-of-town this afternoon have me up to my neck in all the things I’m also grateful to have in my life. And that’s what I want to reflect on briefly as we all all head into our national day of dedicated gratitude.

Let me put it this way: Thank God for life; thank God for love; thank God for friends and family; thank God for the passionate hearts we were all given to rise above our basic survival joys and give ourselves to the attainment of something larger than our selfish personal gain alone; and thank God for giving us the tools to go to work on whatever it is we need to help build. Finally, thank God for giving us the basic wisdom from the pain of our experiences to find our true paths and, as importantly, thank God for giving us the courage to travel our individually dedicated ways, no matter what.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!
