Odd s n'Ends
' Thanksgiving Day
This is the time of year to count our
blessings and to give thanks . What do you
count among your blessings? •
Do you smack your lips thankfully when
you think about the turkey, ' dressing,
potatoes, ,salad, jelly, fruit and pumpkin
Pie, that you'll probably eat too much of ,'
next Sunday or Monday? I often wonder
which is stuffed more - ire.or the turkey.
Are y ou thankful for your family and•
friends, your home, your car, your job or "
an interesting, hobby?
' If you're a football fan, are you excited
by your favourite team's success. or
frustrated by 'its failure? If y ou're a
hockey fan, you anticipate the beginning of
a new season. If you're not a sports' fan,
you're doomed to lose ' your TV rights
acain.
Did you welcome the end of the summer
reruns? The new programs may not give
you much to cheer about.
The winning politicians are probably
relieved that last month's election is ever..
Perhaps the losers are already planning for
next time, or maybe, they're just happy
their lives have returned to normal.
• Farmers, are you thankful for plentiful
crops, and are you glad the harvest will
soon end? It doesn't, mean the termination
of your work; it only means a change' in
your chores.
• Kids and teachers are thankful they've
• put one month of school', but when they
consider the months ahead, their spirits
sink. Skiers and snowmobilers rejoice
because the calendar tells them the snow
will soon arrive. Poets, painters and nature
lovers are enthralled by the colourful
scenery.
All of us have much to be thankful- for;
some blessings are more important than
others; but complaints are often spoken .
too. Every time we drive away from a gas
pump, gratitude is the last thought on our
minds. In 1975, . it's hard to feel -grateful

• The bride was given in

Day.
The local and international news doesn't
help; tragic headlines leap out at us. Such
words as kidnap, riot, terrorists, bomb,
civil war, murder, scandal, inflation,
drought, earthquake, hurricane and flood
have become a part of our everyday jargon.
Tension in the MidJle East means
tension for the whole world. It's difficult
for anyone to ignore the danger signs.
When we learn about the plight of other
people, we often think, "that's too bad. J
really feel sorry for them, but I'm glad it's
them instead of .me." 'Even with this attitude, we can't escape a '1'eeling.of uneasiness. Those of us, who
haven't experienced personal tragedy,
wonder how long we can live untouched by
grief.
But we've all survived hardships, some
large and some small. Our ancestors
struggled through hard times, yet they
always found something to be thankful for.
They began the tradition of Thanksgiving
Day and continued, it for centuries.
They gave thanks for their meal,
although it didn't compare with the feast
most Of us enjoy today.
They gave thanks for the harvest,
although it was sometimes meagre. They
gave thanks for their home, althoegh it
may have been only a shack. They gave
thanks for their loved ones, although some
of them were far away and some would
never return.
They gave thanks for the past year,
although it may have been a trying one.
They gave thanks for the coming year,
even though its prospects may not have
looked much brighter.
They 'gave thanks for life and for the
faith and hope that, helped them live, and
so can we.
