A Happy and Joyful Thanksgiving to You All!

Friends, it has been a most challenging year which we are 

getting through. But despite what we are facing on so many

fronts, we here in the United States still have much to be

thankful for; and we can and shall hold on to it all if we 

remain strong and determined to maintain our country 

the way it was meant and made to be. Yes, we can speak 

our minds on any subject at all. Yes, we can have the 

education to prepare ourselves for the careers we want.

Yes, we can have those very careers and the lives they 

make possible for us to have. And yes, we can have those 

lives and the lifestyles we want to have; to live where 

we want, to wear the clothes we want to wear, to drive

the cars we want to drive, to raise our children the way 

we want, instilling our values and our faith, our work ethic 

and our enthusiasm, our love for our country and for being 

citizens of this great and good place that we call the 

United States of America. 

And best of all, no one can take away any of these things 

without our permission. Did any of you, my great and grand

readers, give anyone your permission? Neither did your

thankful Peasant nor his family. So we shall continue on as

we've been with what we have and enjoy, and our enemies 

from without and from within are out of luck. Bleep 'em!

Therefore, we are so greatly blessed in our lives by the grace

of God, who has given us this magnificent country and all of

its benefits and they are ours to keep, to cherish, to enjoy, 

and to pass down through our coming generations. In the 

meantime, let us be thankful for all of these blessings 

which we have received by a good, loving, and generous 

god, the Source of all our providence, the Fountain of all

wisdom, and the Father of us all. 

Happy Thanksgiving.
