Happy Thanksgiving to you Professor Richardson and to all of you who share these pages.

I was writing to my best friend this morning, in answer to his letter of holiday best wishes. His, like ours, is a pared-down version of what it normally is, but these thoughts came to me, about how much we have to be grateful for, and to work for. I wanted to share them with you.
Thanksgiving Day 2020
Those of us who are alive and well, have cause to be grateful.
Those of us who can enjoy the company of family, have cause to be grateful.
Those of us with friends and family with whom we can speak and share our love, have cause to be grateful.
Those of us who have lost someone dear to them, deserve our love.
Those of us who serve on the front lines fighting to save our lives, deserve our gratitude and support.
Those of us who are alone, deserve our attention.
Those of us who are suffering this very moment, deserve not to be forgotten, to be loved, to be touched.
Those of us who are vulnerable, deserve our commitment to containing this virus and preserving their lives.
Those of us who are hungry, without shelter, or fearful of losing that which they have, deserve our care, deserve to know their government is doing everything within its power to lessen their suffering. And they deserve respect – respect that is manifested in action that demonstrates the dignity of each individual, by providing them with the means to feed and shelter themselves.
