Today is Thanksgiving here, in a few short hours we will gather family and friends together and sit down to enjoy a meal together.
I’ve many things to be thankful for, not just this year but every year. I have family and friends who love me, a wonderful blog family, a roof over my head, a decent home, a job, not to mention two wonderful dogs who I love dearly.
Throw in an (almost) five-year old grandson who still thinks going to Mimi’s house is the greatest gift in the world and an (almost) two-year old granddaughter who can now say, “I ol you Mimi” and it doesn’t get much better.
Yes, those are all wonderful things to be thankful for, and I am grateful for them every single day.
I thought today, it’d be nice to share something other than the traditional things that one normally is grateful for.
I wanted to write a beautiful piece about all the unsung heroes who get taken for granted every day, with little to no thanks.
- People like our soldiers who sacrifice personal lives to protect our freedoms and uphold the motto, “Land of the free and home of the brave.
- Firefighters and policemen and emergency personnel who work regardless of holidays to keep us safe.
- Doctors and nurses working tirelessly in the hospitals to save lives.
- Animal rescue workers who are out on the front line, experiencing the horrors that I myself can’t handle, helping those that can’t help themselves escape from the cruelty of man.
And all of those, I can’t think of.
Yes, I wanted to write a beautiful piece but somehow the words wouldn’t come, instead I offer this, a simple yet heartfelt thanks, and wish you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Heart Like a Dog!
Are there any unsung heroes, that you can think of?

Your thoughts are heartfelt and that picture exudes peacefulness. Love it. I’m also thankful for the garbage men and plumbers and repair guys. Such ugly, difficult jobs but they make our lives so much more pleasant. Happy Thanksgiving! xoxo
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and we hope it is a joyous holiday for you and all your family.
Best wishes Molly
