With So Many Things To Be Thankful

Thanksgiving 2009.  So many things to be thankful for.  My job.  My friends here in the Bay Area and in Cathedral City.   Reconnecting with long lost friends.  My family.  The children I teach.  Somewhat in good health.  New friend from Spain.  Yes, so many things to be thankful for.  I look forward to a nice, long weekend...to rest, work a little, and get ready for the next holiday.  Thank you to the readers of this blog; this blog that can be silly or serious.  Yes, so many wonderful things to be thankful for.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Congratulations to the Class of 2009

Open A New Window

Open a new window,
Open a new door,
Travel a new highway,
That's never been tried before;
Before you find you're a dull fellow,
Punching the same clock,
Walking the same tight rope
As everyone on the block.
The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional,
Soaking up life down to your toes,
Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional,
Just put your thumb up to your nose.
And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm,
Whistle a new song,
Toast with a new vintage,
The fizz doesn't fizz too long.
There's only one way to make the bubbles stay,
Simply travel a new high way,
Dance to a new rhythm,

Open a new window ev'ry day!
