Look what I found! www.GentleThanksgiving.org makes nice little postcards.

 

After my last posting I started getting all obnoxious and trying to be

optomistic because we all know the saying laugh and the world laughs with you,

cry and you cry alone! I wanted to start a list of things that are positive

because I think it has more of an effect. people are really callous and they

don't care! We can be thankful that

 

Vegetarian is possible at all!

 

For the Ancient Inventors of Tofu

 

For Rachel Carson!

 

Pass it on.....

 

 

And, you won't believe this. I'm in the lbrary and someone that I occasionally

talk to just came by and said " what are you doing, putting those things around?

(the post card) I just put them in the trash can " What a world.

Thanks for these posts.

Even my " enlightened " friends think of it as a holiday to be thankful

and be with family (most of them will contribute to the cruelty and

killing of turkeys - and think nothing of all those Thanksgiving

preschool and early ed projects where a picture of a live turkey is

used). I can only imagine the horror people would have if the Nazi's

had instituted a Thanksgiving to celebrate the exterminations and

Germans were celebrating it to this day!

We are, to say the least ambivalent about this kind of holiday. As

soon as my daughter is old enough we'll trek to Plymouth for the day.

Right now a quiet day and walk in the woods sounds good.

Oh that's awful that someone would take them down and put them in the Trashcan.

My daughter's 2nd Grade class is reading " A Turkey for Thanksgiving " - that's

something to be thankful for.
