I want to say many thanks to CNN and CNN Headline News for having closed-captioning. I am deaf and I love to watch the news, what was going on around the world. She also has given my husband and I a refresher on the first Thanksgiving. Dinner conversation this week has focused on Indians and Pilgrims, and she insists that we include corn on the menu Thanksgiving Day. I am truly grateful to be alive.
Life is great.
After decades of suffering from psychic wounds from service in Vietnam I have rounded that happy bend into personal serenity and peace of mind at long last. I have been in the United States for close to seven years now. I came here primarily for my education and to gain experience. But as time has passed by and as I sit at the dinner tables with my hosts during Christmas and Thanksgiving each year, I have come to realize how much I have to be thankful for. First I have to be thankful for the land we call 'America'.
