"In this Thanksgiving month...I can think of so many big and little things about which I am happy...
Just to name a few--I'm thankful for my crisp, petunia-red curtains.
I'm thankful for the sunshine streaming through the Venetian blinds
and making a pattern on the white walls.
I'm thankful that dark-red roses were created, so that they may bloom all winter
on the white chintz background of a slipcover.
I'm thankful for laughter--friends--English muffins--
wind in the trees--stars--open fires--health--
and, above all,
that I'm an American woman, free to come and go and work and love as I please."
Dorothy Draper, Director
Good Housekeeping Studio for Living

What are you thankful for?
