On Being Thankful

On Being Thankful

Dear God,

I was going to thank You tonight

For a beautiful sunrise,

That was pink behind the fog down the hill,

And for a wonderful rainbow,

That I ran under pointing to

All my favorite colors,

And for such a great sunset,

That sparkled orange across the water.

I was going to thank You tonight

For all of these special gifts,

Except that none of them happened.

But do You know what?

I still love You, God,

And I have lots of other things

That I can thank You for tonight,

Even if you didn't give those

Very special gifts to me today.

It's okay, God,

Because I'll look for them all again,

When my tomorrow comes.

Amen.

From Ellens show...

These guys are wild ... they were on the Ellen Degeneres show today.

Today is Veteran's Day in the US and Remembrance Day/Armistice Day in Oz,
the day we take a few minutes to honour those who have fallen,
fighting for these freedoms we now enjoy.

Please take a personal moment and think about their sacrifice.



They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

MAKE TIME TO VOTE TOMORROW!

From MATTHEW SHEPARD'S site...
Your Voice Matters: Vote TuesdayAre you voting in the midterm elections for Congress on Tuesday? People who don’t want to let LGBT people serve openly in the military are voting. So are the folks who oppose marriage equality, or equal treatment of same-sex couples in the immigration system. They feel like their voice matters and should be heard. Do you feel the same way?
Every two years — and more often in some states and cities — Americans get a chance to weigh in on what kind of government they want, whose values will be incorporated into the laws we live under, and what issues will have priority in our national discourse. Are you making your voice a part of that process?
Perhaps you registered to vote for the first time in 2008 — or the first time in a long time, anyway. Maybe you’re disappointed in the slow pace of progress on LGBT equality — and so are we. But dropping out of the process now is a sure-fire way to make sure that progress stalls completely, or worse yet, is reversed.
Cast your vote on Tuesday, Nov. 2, with LGBT equality in mind.
Don’t remember where your polling place is, or how long it’s open? You can use this special search engine provided by Vote411.org. Your voice is your most powerful tool in erasing hate. Please put it to good use!
