Belonging is the gift of our race. The gift we receive when we are born. We are born into a group whether it be Taylor's or lions or some other form of identification. As we grow we embrace other groups that enhance our power and pride, we are born human, American, Okies, but join bowlers, readers, cyclist, birdwatchers, and yes, even actors and engineers.
I feel pride when ever I see an accomplishment in which ever group I am aligning myself with, I didn't do it, any of it, but I get power from the pride. So today I want to honor my pride in my family. The tribe I am most proud of belonging to. Taylor Pride. I didn't plan it, earn it, work for it, nor do I probably deserve it, but it is mine and I claim it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my family, I hope yours is loving and fulfilling; no arrests, fights, hurt feelings or food poisoning.

I finally ran out of things to say, so here is a sentiment compliments of Kathy Noland.
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
