Thanksgiving is just around the corner and, soon after, Christmas follows. During these times there is much to be grateful for, happy about, and to celebrate . It is always a good thing when family, friends and so many, come together on the same days to celebrate life. It is in the air. We can see the decorations, feel the mood, hear the sounds, smell food being cooked and can almost taste it all. But most important is sharing ourselves and our appreciation for each other and the hope we have for a better future.
