Hello all in SBG-Land,

I am generally reminded everyday of the many things for which I am grateful. But especially so at this time of the year when the American holiday of "Thanksgiving" occurs. This year I seem to be especially awash in moments of gratitude.

FIRST,

Relevant here, I wish to thank all of the Sly members of the fora who generously and selflessly provide encouragement, education, inspiration and motivation to me and the other members - whether the topic is hair-related or not. Makes no difference.

I also appreciate the many members with whom I have exchanged Private Messages. My queries or comments have been graciously accepted and I have received heartfelt responses in return.

And unexpectedly to the Sly I have met in person ... proving that the "real people" behind the screen names are genuine and are as accurate in the physical form as they portray themselves here.

My life experience is better because of all of you and the perspectives you have shared.

and SECOND,

If you have ten minutes, I encourage you to watch this video. The photography is spectacular, and the old man's narrative which begins at about 4.5 minutes is (to me) profound. Live every day as if it were your first and your last. Recognize the impact you have on others.

Thanks to you all.

Happy Turkey Day to all you sly turkeys!

Q: What do you do with all that leftover turkey?
A: You "shave" it for tomorrow!

May all of you have a truly blessed day!

Now...who's ready for some feetball?!

I am not sure how I missed this, but miss alot of items I should see !  Thanx FG ! 

This is what I would call keeping it simple.  And no matter what time of year we should all do it.  Children keep things simple and as we age we should also stop, look , and listen !   O0

Aw, thanks guys.

It's really the experiences that everyone here shares which provide the inspiration for all of us.

A finer lot of guys and gals I don't think I've ever encountered in the online world.

Hats off (if you were wearing one) to us all!
