Happy Thanksgiving...

One of the many reasons to be grateful in my life is having you as readers, and this seems like a good moment to say thank you. You are scattered throughout the world. Some of you, I know, check in to The Buddha Diaries regularly; others once in a while. A few choose to comment, and many not. Know that you are all appreciated. Not many years ago, it would have been impossible for a writer to imagine such a possibility to reach out and touch so many people, unless with one of those bestsellers most of us can never expect to write. It feels like a great privilege to be able to connect in this way, as well as a great pleasure. On this Thanksgiving Day, I'm fortunate to have this medium that allows me to send out metta to all. May all of us find many reasons to be grateful for the blessings in our lives. And for those suffering at this time from misfortune of any kind, let's join in sending out heartfelt compassion.
