Happy Thanksgiving

This last 12 months have been rather challenging for the Logical Household, as my friends all know. The Logical Husband's job transfer and the move to Utah (and selling a house in THIS market) were tough on us all but we persevered and we are now together as a family and that is enough to be thankful for on it's own. Couple that with all of my good friends in MN and my new good friends here in Utah and it has been a year to truly be grateful for.

So to all of my dear friends back home in MN and my new friends here, I wish you all the best blessings. I am grateful to you all for all of the love and support during a trying year. I am grateful that God has put you all in my life and I look forward to yet another wonderful exciting year ahead.

On that note, here is today's Founders Morning quote.

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors."

–George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 3 October 1789

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Prayer Request

Our prayers go out to Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA) and his family following yesterday's announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2008 due to esophageal cancer.

Rep. Tom Lantos, a California Democrat and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election this year because he has cancer of the esophagus.

While this is not the first time that Lantos has faced unbelievable hardship (he is a Holocaust survivor) at 79 this is going to be a tough battle.

Please send up what well wishes you have for the Lantos family in this time of illness.

Happy Thanksgiving 2007

I thought I would share with you a few things that I am thankful for this year.

• I am always thanful for my readers and commenters.
• I am thankful that our aging parents are still around - even though it may not be for long.
• I am thankful for the Junior Logician and the Logical Husband.
• I am thankful to have one of the best Representatives in the MN House as a Rep and friend.
• I am thankful for the insanity that a 6 month old puppy has brought to our lives. Thanks to Sarah and Ruth S. for bringing Jack into our lives.
• I am thankful to be a part of True North. I still can't believe that Derek and Andy and Mitch would have asked little old me to be a part of this amazing project.
• I am thankful for all of the new friends that I have made in the last year.
• I am thankful to have been a part of a discussion that can only help our community move forward in the aftermath of the school board/referendum elections this fall.
• There is so much more that if I were to list it would take all day...

Thank you to all my readers and commenters for a remarkable year.
