Giving – To convey by physical action

Put that all together and you can build a upon the meaning of Thanksgiving.
To all my friends, family, acquaintances and anyone else connected with me.
May you all be thankful for being who you are and for those that treat you with respect, trust and honor. May you all be thankful for those that you do not know that make it so you can live the life you wish to lead.
May you also be the giver of happiness, empathy, respect and trust that merits thanks whether you receive those thanks or not. May you in good faith, entrust and bestow upon all that which is meant to build character and not break it down.
Continue being the positive, uplifting people that you are. And have a Happy Thanksgiving
