Our Views:Reason for thanks

The Island Now

On this Thanksgiving, there are abundant reasons, some of which we took for granted in years past, for giving thanks:

 · That the lights went on when you flipped the switch this morning;

· That you slept in a warm house;

· That you can cook a turkey in an oven that works;

· For the first responders who went out in the middle of a hurricane to rescue the stranded and then for weeks directed traffic at busy intersections because the stop lights didn’t work;

· For the thousands of volunteers that collected supplies and helped homeowners to tear down flood-damaged walls and floors;

· And, most important, that all of our American soldiers now fighting in Afghanistan will soon be coming home.

 Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers from all of us at Blank Slate Media.
