First of all, I am a very simple man with minimal needs. I drive old cars, own a modest working-class house, and my idea of entertainment is an evening home with the wife and cats watching television.
But I have been truly blessed throughout my life, and I am grateful for every precious day and each new opportunity that is presented to me.
It seems that so many others are having a harder time this year. Many have been affected by the current economic situation or the pandemic illnesses working their way throughout the country. But I have been fortunate enough to have averted these perils for now.
I can honestly say that I have everything that I have ever wanted. An amazing family, all of the material possessions a minimalist could ever hope to possess, and a great job that challenges me every day and keeps me going!
And I have great friends, here in Georgia and all over the western hemisphere! I interact with many of them every day via social networking, and have built many relationships that I value and treasure.
And so I pause and give thanks for all I have, and for all that are reading this message. I am truly blessed.

Very nicely stated. Many of us hopefully share the same spirit of thanksgiving this day as well as every day. Enjoy!

Richard you make my life richer for having someone with your talent in it. Thank you my friend for all your posts over the past year and for all that are yet to come. Have a great day!
Richard, I love the photo, lets just get that right out there, LOL. It looks a bit familiar, where is it?
You are blessed, and we are all blessed to "know" you. Thank you, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi Richard: True happyness is found within the journey and it sounds like you have found it. Congratulations.
:)
Wow Richard, You had me at: "my idea of entertainment is an evening home with the wife and cats watching television". It's really nice to see a man show his true feelings about his life :)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Andrea...
The church is near Cashiers North Carolina. It has been renovated since this photo was taken, perhaps twenty years ago, and has lost a little of it's charm IMHO! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Fernando...
And the same to you and your family! Thanks, my friend.
Michael...

Richard: Your life sounds a lot like my own--simple. I love simple. It's complication that brings negativity. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Richard,
We all have so many blessings and it is great to reflect on them often. Today is a special day to do so, and I appreciate your post. :)

Richard....thank you for the wonderful message....you are truly a class act and I have been blessed with the opportunity to read your incredible thoughts....you are such a great talent....I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving.
Richard,
You do sound truly blessed...and the best part is you recognize it for the great blessing it is! Contentment is a great blessing! Have a great day!
Richard:
As usual, your post was a joy to read and very uplifting. If more people were satisfied with the blessings they have it would be a much better world.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Richard, This is a great post. We should all be thankful for what we have. Many have so much less.
Richard...if we all look real hard, I think we would find taht we also are really blessed.
Hope your day was great!
You are an amazing and talented (with pictures, writing and more) individual and one of the biggest contributors to the community here....and no doubt in your neighborhood.
Thank you for you....hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
BTW....my idea of a great time is as you...at the end of the day....we cuddle and watch tv....
Hope your holiday was wonderful. I too feel very blessed in my life and even more so that I get to enjoy your beautiful photos and the nice message you always have to offer.
Richard, this is wishing you, your wife and cats a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sounds like you had one!
Richard, the richest people around are those that are happy with what they have and it's the little things that matter the most. Sounds like you've got it right and what a great example to all the rest of us to appreciate all the little hidden blessings in life. My idea of a great time is pretty close to yours (without cats and with a good book in place of the TV). BTW, I love your photos - they always spea volumes to me!
