Dear Furry Community,
While not all of you visiting this site are American (and therefore do not celebrate Thanksgiving), I would like to take a moment to thank all of you who have visited, posed questions, and perhaps took the time to offer a compliment or two. Take a little time today to think of things you can be grateful for: friends, family, food on the table, clothes on your back, a bed to sleep in. And do not envy those who may seem more prosperous and successful than you. There will always be others who have more money, better careers, better physical features than you. Envy just brings you down. Instead, work on accepting yourself for who you are, and exercise kindness towards those around you at all times. Take time to appreciate the beauty of nature, the love of a good dog or cat, the flavor of the ice cream melting on your tongue, a kiss on the cheek. None of us knows why we are really here. Perhaps there is no reason at all. So, do your best to enjoy what you have in the here and now. Hugs, Papabear Grubbs
