[Nfbc-info] Thanksgiving thoughts and wishes

[rcubfank at sbcglobal.net]

I agree. That was a beautiful thought. I know for me, this past year has 
been an up and down year with being in and out of hospitals and nursing 
homes. I thank God that I had Sarah with me to help me through all of this. 
My other hope is that I will soon be back in Orange County and get the 
Orange County chapter back up and running this next year.

That was beautiful Mary! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. And to 
all of our NFB family as well! We hope each and every one of you had a day 
filled with blessings.
