I thank God for granting me the ability to read, enjoy and share them. After that, at the top of my list- can you guess? Books! First and foremost, my faith, my family and friends, good health. But since this is November, I am posting my thanks early in honor of Grampap Batch. As the retail world began pushing the ‘buy-me’ state of mind earlier and earlier in the year, Grampap would say, “People should give thanks for what they have before thinking about what they want.” I agree with him and try to remember to count my many blessings every day. The following Friday was the official beginning of the Christmas season. Back in the day, Christmas lights didn’t show up on houses and holiday shopping didn’t begin in earnest until after Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving approaches, I think of my maternal grandfather.
