Not only on Thanksgiving, but every day, I thank God for making me a contemporary of Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am thankful for her earnest and brilliant service, her tireless dedication to our country, her courage, and her honest blue-eyed gaze right into our eyes when she speaks. I am thankful too, daily, for her dear mother who gave us her exceptional little girl.
Mme. Secretary, this Thanksgiving, as every day, I will be saying a prayer for your continued good health and safety on your many voyages. I know your mother will be watching over you, and we, here at this blog, will continue following your extraordinary work.
Happy Thanksgiving. May the Lord keep you safe. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with all of those you love.
To all the readers here:

Just read this and I thought I’d share this. One more thing to be thankful for this year… and thanks mostly to Hillary, our troops and the women from America who have been trail-blazers in Afghanistan…

Thanks for sharing that! It really is all about changing the way people think.
Oddly, while this is not our oldest official holiday, it is our oldest traditional one, We have not only made piddling progress in this arena, we have gone backwards. The Salem witch trials were really about real estate and women who held it, i.e. women were property-owners and therefore held political sway. Women in New Jersey who were property owners had suffrage until the problem arose of whether free black men should be allowed to vote. Given that conundrum, white men disenfranchised both populations.
This country needs to catch up. Women were doing better, by some standards, under the British colonial rule than now. Still, when a woman runs. they call her names and try to make her look like a witch or crazy.
