Thanksgiving, 2012.

A Happy Thanksgiving from the House by the Parkway.

Despite the current state of affairs in the country, when I look at the big picture, it is clear that I have much to be thankful for. I have been both humbled and inspired by the backbone, grit and optimism of fellow Garden Staters whose homes were swept into the sea a couple weeks ago. They are cleaning up the mess and beginning the rebuilding process. When asked about how they are coping with such a massive loss, they say that they are happy to be alive and to be with their families.

Yes, I do have a good deal to be thankful for.

    We’re a pretty resiliant breed, we Jerseyians, we can weather all sorts
    of storms, Mother Nature’s and those created by man.
    Enjoy this special day, we’ll pick up the good fight again on the morrow.
