Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Constituents,

My wife Leslie and I would like to wish each of you and your families a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. In honor of this wonderful holiday, I would like to share with you a poem by Joanna Fuchs that I particularly enjoy.

Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.

Saturday at 4:30pm at Toms River South
