Happy Thanksgiving from Pediatric House Calls
Is it just me or did this year’s end-of-year holiday season just jump out and pounce on us about two months early?! It’s caught me a bit off guard this year; but, to tell you the truth, I’m going to breathe a sigh of relief when “this ones'” done, and we can start fresh on another one.
Here in “The States” it’s a designated end-of-year holiday commemorating the gratefulness that the “original European settlers” felt after finally pulling in their first year’s crops in a new land. Now, with over 500 years behind us and 2024 sensibilities, it’s easy to forget all the ancestral beginnings in favor of just being glad the “elections” over!
I hope you won’t mind me giving about the only quote I can remember from my youth which might be a bit appropriate for the occasion:
With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge
of our deeds, let us go forth and lead the land we love, asking His blessings and His help,
knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own. (JFK, inaugural address)
Please… have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving – 2024

[About this time every year things get a bit hectic around the homestead and we need to take a little hiatus. Hope you and everyone you care about have a perfect holiday season—wherever you may be! See you again in the new year.]
