Who can resist the stuffing and the bird, piled high on the plate, with too many sides to count?  The whipped cream, the pie–can I have cherry and apple?–with a little ala mode for good measure?

In an article he wrote way back in 2007, Mitch Albom quoted Edward Winslow, who described the joy of the first Thanksgiving, in part, by explaining that they were “so far from want.”

So far from want.

Isn’t that us?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.  I hope your plates, and your hearts, are full and very far from want.
