This Thanksgiving weekend, be thankful for the bounty of your life

It's easy to see that between the celebrated gluttony of Thanksgiving followed by the frenzied acquisition of material possessions on Black Friday, many of us don't really take the time to focus on what our forefathers did when they celebrated the first Thanksgiving almost 400 years ago.

That is - put simply - celebrate the bounty of our lives.

So we were thinking of what we at The Lebanon Voice are most thankful for, and as a newspaper, there are so many.

But two things stand out. One, that we are blessed with readers who see us on the street, stop us and say, "Hey, we love The Lebanon Voice."

It happens all the time, and let us tell you it never gets old!

Secondly, we are thankful that we can give back to the community. Since we were founded we've donated time and money to so many charities and causes, such as My Breast Cancer Awareness, the American Heart Association, National Breast Cancer Awareness, Maine Brain Aneurysm Awareness; and locally the Angelo Loli of Milton fund, the Nicole Purington of Lebanon fund and many more.

At the end of November The Lebanon Voice will be sending a check for at least $38 to a fund set up to help car accident victim Luke Fleurant of Lebanon, who suffered serious injuries in a Nov. 2 collision with a semi.

That $38 will go up if any new subscribers or advertisers sign up between now and Nov. 30, because as has been the case all month, 5 percent of all new accounts revenue will be donated.

This giving gives us at The Lebanon Voice more pleasure than creamed onions or cornbread stuffing, or even mince pie with hard sauce.

Oh, and there's a third thing we're most thankful for. Our readers.

Have a great rest of your holiday weekend.
