To my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving!
(To my Canadian readers, happy belated Thanksgiving. I celebrated with you last month when my very dear Vancouver-ite clients reminded me that y’all celebrate before we Yanks do.)
Some Thanksgiving quotes:
Daniel Webster, Second Speech on Foot’s Revolution, Jan 26, 1830:
I thank God, that if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none – as I trust – of that other spirit which would draw angels down.
Frank Pittman, U.S. psychiatrist and family therapist. “How to Manage Mom and Dad,” Psychology Today (November/December 1994)
A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.
Sydney Smith (1771-1845), Recipe for Salad, p. 383
Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea?—how did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant — and let the air out of the tires.
