Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Cheers to all! Going to play Burrough's Thanksgiving Prayer today to keep centered.

Happy Thanksgiving to all here.

I am thankful for the privilege of having lived a long life in the greatest country on the planet where the Constitution and the Bill of Rights continue to keep the totalitarians at bay.

I am thankful for a totally functional family where honesty, charity, faith, and a fierce work ethic are at the forefront. I am thankful for the health of my two wonderful daughters, four educated hard-working grandchildren, and five healthy great-grandchildren.

I am thankful to be able to sleep comfortably in my bed at night without the fear of facing violence because there are tough guys in blue out there on the streets facing that violence for me.

I’m thankful to my mother for instilling a love for music and literature in me as a small child.

I am thankful for life-long friends, some stretching all the way back to the sixth grade in 1949 in room 10, Wilson Grammar School, in Santa Barbara, California where providence put us in touch with the greatest teacher in the country at that time, Mister Frank Van Schaik.

I am thankful for the friends I’ve made through this site named Audiogon. It has been through this site, that I have increased my knowledge on how to improve my audio system to the point it is now, which is a world away from what I ever thought I would have.

Happy Thanksgiving, guys.

Frank

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Be safe if you are traveling.

Be tolerant and be charitable on this day.

Happy Thanksgiving, the 400th consecutive celebration of the first Thanksgiving dinner.

Yours in music,

I am thankful to God for choosing me, an atheist, when I didn't have the good sense to do so. Thanks for allowing me to face cancer and look death in the face  and teaching me the things that really matter in life. Thanks for a great wife who has helped me to be more balanced in my life where I live by the motto that anything worth doing is worth doing to excess. 😀. Thanks for the posters here on Audiogon (AA & elsewhere) who have increased my knowledge and understanding of audio equipment. Thanks for Audiogon where used equipment which I could never afford new, often comes up for sale at a price I can afford. Thanks for all the stuff you have given to me over the years which have helped me to enjoy my life more. Thanks for the family which I have had. And thanks for the great friends I have accumulated along the way.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
