Thanksgiving Thoughts for Inspiration and Fun
I would like to share these inspirational and fun thoughts with you for this upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday.
“We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.”

“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.”
– Erma Bombeck
“We will speed the day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing …Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh quote
“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”

Baby Bruno was sitting in his grandmother’s kitchen, watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.
“What are you doing?” Bruno asked.

“That’s cool!” Bruno said.
“Are you going to hang it next to the deer?”

“I love Thanksgiving turkey… it’s the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.”

“It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with “gourmet” status.”
