Good Morning Pigskin Pickers! It is Thanksgiving week and let me be the first to say “Happy Thanksgiving” to each of you!  A couple of weeks back, I asked everyone to submit feedback on what they were thankful for and how whatever they were thankful for makes their life better.  Unfortunately, I did not get a huge response, but I did receive one response that spoke to what I was thinking and it is this response that will begin our week 10 blog.   It is well worth the read, and expresses sentiments I am sure many of us share…and I am hoping it brings a smile all around! To remind everyone what was asked…there were two specific questions: 1)  Why are you thankful?, and2)  How does what you are thankful for translate into making your life better? Likely, we would all put a slightly different spin on these questions; but I think at the center of why each of us is thankful, would be a common theme.  The
