Smith continued from 6A
I’m thankful for Lynn
and Lisa who make your
day when you give priority
to breakfast with them.
I’m thankful for hugs
from grandchildren,
friends and all those on
my team, remembering
when people once looked
askance at men hugging
men.
I’m okay with that, but
maintain that earrings
should remain on women.
I’m thankful for the mem
ory of my mother....wish
she were still here to hug
me.
I’m thankful for a fresh
ly mowed lawn....which
means I’m thankful for
landscapers and yard
maintenance folk.
They make our neigh
borhoods refreshed,
charming and inviting.
I’m thankful for those
who work to give hope
to abused children, wish
ing passionately that every
single time that someone
abuses an innocent child
that they endure the wrath
of all gods, post haste,
childhood abuse.
How abominable!
I’m thankful that I don’t
have to pick cotton any
more.
I’m especially thank
ful for running water, the
flushing toilet and two
white shirts — all of which
I was denied growing up.
I’m thankful for writ
ers like Jim Minter, Terry
Kay and Lee Walburn
who were the stars of the
Atlanta Journal-Constitu
tion sports pages of the
past where there was cold
type, no computers and no
iPhones.
Their classic work has
stood the test of time.
I’m thankful for scup-
pernongs, Easter lilies,
mountain laurel, Tiger
Mountain Vineyards, a
Bob White quail plummet
ing to earth after worthy
aim, moonshine stories,
gem clips, rubber bands
and staplers; firewood,
chilly temperatures and
history books.
I’m thankful that
Thanksgiving and the har
vest season are unalterably
linked during the October/
November months.
I’m most thankful that I
don’t have to drive to work
every day on Interstate 85.
