Ablaze on evening’s forehead o’er the earth,
And add each night a lustre till afar
An eightfold splendor shine above thy hearth.

How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age.  Thanksgiving opens the doors.  It changes a child’s personality.  A child is resentful, negative - or thankful.  Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people.
               - Sir John Templeton
                  American-born British investor and philanthropist
                  1912-2008

Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere….I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one.  You can look around and there’s not a sign of hypocrisy.  Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.
               - Linus Van Pelt
                  From “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”
                  Written by Charles M. Schulz

Happy Halloween!
