Greetings! 

Last week at the Thanksgiving Meal for LGBT Seniors I asked the group to take a moment and write down something they were each thankful for this year.
 
The list was touching and often funny. You will see some of the responses below because we couldn't think of a better way to wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
 
Where ever your journey takes you this Thursday we hope that you can also take a moment to stop and celebrate the blessings in your life.
 
With gratitude,
Bob Linscott
I Am Thankful For.....
