Giving Thanks!

A LITTLE LIGHT HUMOR TO GIVE THANKS FROM GARRISON KEILLOR AND RICHARD DWORSKY OF A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION

“THANKS”
From Garrison Keillor and Richard Dworsky
A Prairie Home Companion
November 22, 2008

I am thankful for ATM machines
For the smell of coffee beans
For the dishwasher and for the GPS
Thought up by the Pentagon, a great success
That makes it unnecessary for us men
To ever need to ask for directions again.

Thank you thank you thank you thanks a lot
For what we have and for some things that we do not

I am thankful for macaroni and cheese,
Of mac and cheese I have only good memories
Boil water. Put the macaroni in. It’s
A very nice meal in about ten minutes.

And speaking of food of low status,
Thank you for instant mashed potatoes
Which is simply dehydrated potato flakes.
Mashed potatoes in one-tenth the time it takes
To boil one and whip it up nice and smooth.
And if you want to know the absolute truth
That dry organic peanut butter — I hate it.
I like the kind with sugar and fat, saturated.

Thank you thank you thank you and merci
Peanut butter has always been merciful to me.

And for the U.S. Postal Service I say thanks
Delivering mail from Florida to Fairbanks,

I am grateful for blogs and other new media
And of course for the miraculous Wikipedia
Which puts information at your fingertips
An innovation as great as sailing ships,
Or putting a steam engine on the rails,
So thank you Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales.
And thank you Larry Page and Sergey Brin
Who in 1997 launched a search engine
Google, which simply is superb
A noun that quickly became a verb.

Please leave a comment and let us know what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday. We wish you a very happy Thanksgiving!

If you’re not willing to do the work you won’t get better….think about what you can do not what you can’t do…words of wisdom from a young bride to be involved in a freak accident at her bachelorette party, and who with the help of her fiance, family and friends is making great strides in her recovery toward, among other things, a new wedding date.

Sun over ocean copyright 2010

WITH EVERY BREATH

With every breath I take today,
I vow to be awake;

And every step I take,
I vow to take with a grateful heart–

So I may see with eyes of love
into the hearts of all I meet,

To ease their burden when I can
And touch them with a smile of peace.

Delicious Kale and Pinto Bean Soup

Kale and Pinto Bean Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of soup on a chilly fall day. This soup contains kale, a superfood that is packed with vitamins, minerals and cancer-fighting enzymes. It contains loads of vitamin A, vitamin C, B6, manganese, calcium, copper and potassium.
Servings: 10

Here’s what you need…

1 cup dried pinto beans
1 large yellow onion
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups filtered water
2 bouillon cubes
dash of freshly ground sea salt
dash of freshly ground pepper
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed between your fingers
5 large carrots, diced
2 bunches kale, chopped

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the beans and cook for 60-90 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In your soup pot heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked beans, water, bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary, and carrots. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add the kale and cook another 15 minutes or until kale is tender. Add more water if needed.

Remove the bay leaves, add more salt and pepper if needed.

Wednesday Wide Smile

November 17, 2010 by Rose Caplan

This is the ending to Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights. It is known as the best ending for any film.

City Lights was made in 1931…silent films ended in 1928. Charlie Chaplin may have known that the power of the human touch could only be effectively conveyed through action and kept the film from being a talkie.

If you haven’t seen the movie, you really want to pay attention to what’s happening in this clip … you will be rewarded with beautiful awareness upon human touch. Then…you will want to watch the entire movie. If you have already seen the movie then you already know how wonderful the ending is and will want to watch the movie again to be emotionally stirred by its message.

What you thought before has led to every choice you have made, and this adds up to you at this moment. If you want to change who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually, you will have to change what you think. ~Dr. Patrick Gentempo
