Canada celebrated Thanksgiving last month but I wish all the Americans on here a very Happy Thanksgiving! Rob, you reminded us that we have much to be thankful for. I enjoy your column very much and appreciate your honesty. Keep on writing!
Thanks, Rob. Excellent thoughts that resonated with me this evening. On Monday and Tuesday I was having unusual pains in my bodily infrastructure. E.G.--the bottom of my left foot/heel was aching and overnight was radiating pain. I had no fever or other symptoms. Weird. I told my wife that I thought my Ph might be off, so I started Tuesday morning with a glass of water w/ 2 TBSP of Braggs Apple Cider/ Honey Cayenne, then fasted until evening. This Wednesday morning, I woke up and most of my aches were gone, including my foot! I'm not sure why that happened, ACV or whatever....but, I'll tell you what...I was very, very grateful! But, I did indeed not ''hop'' into the shower, lol. Wishing you and everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving! And, ''be safe'' lol.
I told you I would eventually find my way here and here I am! Lol anyways, this post hits the mark probably better than I could have myself. With so much happening in the world currently (like 10-30 new events per second) I find myself getting sucked into all the "this-and-that" and blah blah blah more than I even want to admit -- even more so because I find myself having to try understanding and breaking down what really is happening and put everything into proper context as objectively as possible all alone since no one around me seems to "get it". Needless to say, the last 3-4 years of doing so has taken a massive toll not on just my brain, but on literally everything in between.
In any event, I know Thanksgiving day itself has passed, but thank you for supporting my work and for the tips you gave me about growing food, man! (I've yet to apply those tricks but Im just ultra slow hahaha) It is truly appreciated and I hope all is well on your end!
I agree with everything you wrote. I always remind myself I never want to be that miserable, hard to live with, or even be around, elder. As I get older, I find myself correcting my own behavior, so I won't get comfortable becoming someone I don't want to be in the future.
I do wake up everyday thankful for the air I have in my lungs. For just one more day to love and be loved. One more day to smile at a stranger and "make their day", as perhaps they are one who is lost.
I appreciate your column, and I always look forward to it. I have learned so much from you and others when I read through the comments. It is enlightening, and reminds us to open our minds, because the world is much bigger than just what we know.
Happy Thanksgiving and never stop what you are doing! You are making a difference!
@Daniel Lindor Hey Daniel! Haha! Thanks for taking a minute to stop by, and for your kind words. I've never considered myself an author (and I believe I've mentioned that in the past), I just write from the heart and try to make sure I spell everything correctly. Ha! I understand your frustration with feeling like you are alone in your discernment of what goes on around you. Most people don't get it. Not at all. And anyone who does "get it" and dares to point out anything contrary to what the masses have *chosen* to believe at the time will often be labelled. It always amazes me that the same people who agreed with me about something (throughout my life, not just int he last 5 years) and saw the truth about something just days, weeks, months, or years earlier, suddenly can shift on a dime and buy into whatever "movement" is going on at the time. Did I ever recommend the book "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer to you? Its' less than 200 pages. You might like it. Daniel, as frustrating as it can be, I often find myself being incredibly grateful to be "outside the box". To not be part of the herd. I have learned that it's a gift to see beyond what is happening in the here and now and be able to calculate the approximate outcome if 2 plus 2 happens. If that makes sense. I'm glad you are still considering growing a bit of food! You'll get there my friend. Things are good here. Looking forward to your next essay for sure. Don't give up!

Thank you Anna! You've put up with me from almost the very start! Haha. Thanks again.
Thank you. Beautiful message!
