\"Happiest<\/a><\/p>\n

On this Thanksgiving, I’m most grateful for:<\/p>\n

* My health. I feel great and am not in need of any surgery (that I’m aware of).<\/p>\n

* My sons. Both have grown into extraordinary young men and, while I wish they both lived closer to me, I’m very proud of each for the choices they make every day.<\/p>\n

* My job. Layoffs are taking place and I’ve never felt so anxious, but I won’t let fear rule me. <\/p>\n

* My awareness. I see the world clearly and for that, I’m deeply grateful.<\/p>\n

* My depth of Spirit and abiding Love for all. It carries me more often than not lately.<\/p>\n

* Bernie Sanders. He’s a proven progressive who can move this declining nation forward.<\/p>\n

* My family of origin. My Dad-John Joseph Connolly<\/a>, taught me commitment and responsibility. My mom gave me a capacity for Love that runs deep. My sister-Regina<\/a>-taught me how wounded a Soul can be. My brother-Kevin<\/a>-taught me persistence.<\/p>\n

* My only nephew Vincent<\/a>. He helped me learn how hard it is to grow up in a very dysfunctional family.<\/p>\n

* My Jr. High school algebra teacher – Dave Sell – he taught me to love myself.<\/p>\n

I have so much to be thankful for this year. While I’m all alone this year, I am deeply grateful for everything I have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
