I, Dear Ones, had the auspicious honor of entering this world on Thanksgiving Day.
Ofcourse my birthday doesn't always fall on Thanksgiving (yesterday was my birthdate), but I have come to really appreciate that I have a constant reminder of the best way to walk this Earth.....full of Thanks and Giving my Best.
I also want to say, how thankful I am for this outlet. Is it obvious how very much, I enjoy producing this blog? I'm very grateful for this vehicle to share my love, concerns, frustrations and passions. I appreciate all of your indulgence, as my need to be creative and express myself finds great fulfillment through this medium.
In light of that, I share the story below full of Thanks to you who take the time to visit and read my blog. And I truly appreciate, the Giving nature, of those of you that take the time to send me a comment sharing your thoughts about what is offered here.
I love you all~

The Parrot
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
