Hi Linda–you beat me to the punch so I could alert you that I’d passed along your great quote in the group blog at Caring.com. I won’t walk through an airport the same way again. Enjoy your site. Happy T to you too.

Dear Lance,

Thank you for your thoughts — here and over in the jungle! I’m glad you thanked the veteran — even before you saw the video here. You have a caring heart and it shines through your words in the blogosphere. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!

Hi Linda,
I loved the video – what a great reminder to thank those people in our lives who deserve it! Just three days ago, we had a gentlemen come back to work who had been in Iraq for about a year. And, I did feel awkward – what to say – should I say nothing – etc. Then I thought, why not say something. It wasn’t much – a simple thank you for protecting us – and a handshake. And it all felt right and good.

Linda, thank you for being here – for writing and sharing your thoughts – and for brightening my days!

In this season of Thanksgiving – I have so much to be thankful for!

[...] Random Feed wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.

The idea of showing gratitude to the people in our [...]
