Have you ever wondered where the "turkey" came into importance for Thanksgiving day? Well, I found this little tidbit to be quite interesting. Abraham Lincoln, one of my favorite presidents, sent turkeys to the troops in 1863. Thanksgiving day did not consist of turkey dinner as we perceive it.

We have so many things to be thankful for, whether we see them at the time we need to be thankful, or not.
Many blessings to all my readers, and may you perceive your Thanksgiving day as a time to reflect on what is positive, and what is good.
