Ok, after spending WAY to much time trying to come up with something cleaver and creative to try and express what I most want to say this Thanksgiving, I decided to cut to the chase and simply be direct.  Are you ready?
OK.
Take both your arms, stretch them out in front of you, parallel to the floor and then wrap them tightly around your body.  This is a hug from me, and after all my crazy attempts, all I really wanted to say to you this Thanksgiving is “Thanks!”
Thanks for following my blog. 
Thanks for being my friend.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to touch your life.
It’s a gift for which I am very grateful.  And I wish for you, the happiest, most stress-free and joyful Thanksgiving.
Cheers!
