Thanksgiving Card
Monday, 12. October 2009, 05:03:14
I had stayed at home this weekend. I had an invitation to celebrate Thanksgiving and am sure there would have been fine opportunities to be unwise and indulgent in my diet. But visiting family last weekend had left me with an unwelcome house guest of my own : cough and cold that I didn't feel like sharing.
I appreciate kindnesses and quips online : even though most don't seem to make it to the blog itself. Email seems too private sometimes - which is why I repost some of them.
I wouldn't have any idea how to go about duplicating a Care2 card on Opera - complete with soundtrack - but thought I'd leave some reflection of the latest. I also have some cards on my account at Care2.
It's been a long time since I realized that my online identity had been hopelessly compromised by TypeKey registration peeking out from a 'Vanity Search.' Nor had FaceBook been something I was going to tangle with. So here I am today with FaceBook and Care 2 accounts linked and considering whether to go further.
I find my name gets some raised eyebrows...especially from Australians. It was one reason I thought any blogging I did would get hopelessly lost and ignored in Search. That's o.k. I know a Glenn Miller.
John Farnham isn't as instantly recognizable as that. So I have accounts at Care 2 and Open Salon ( new and having trouble fixing the Profile ) under my own name in addition to be being variously opit or oldephartte as registration parameters permit.
So Opera friends have other places to check if curious about the news dude with all the funny choices for reading.

The Thanksgivings
by Harriet Maxwell Converse
Translated from a traditional Iroquois prayer
We who are here present thank the Great Spirit that we are here to praise Him. We thank Him that He has created men and women, and ordered that these beings shall always be living to multiply the earth. We thank Him for making the earth and giving these beings its products to live on. We thank Him for the water that comes out of the earth and runs for our lands. We thank Him for all the animals on the earth. We thank Him for certain timbers that grow and have fluids coming from them for us all. We thank Him for the branches of the trees that grow shadows for our shelter. We thank Him for the beings that come from the west, the thunder and lightning that water the earth. We thank Him for the light which we call our oldest brother, the sun that works for our good. We thank Him for all the fruits that grow on the trees and vines. We thank Him for his goodness in making the forests, and thank all its trees. We thank Him for the darkness that gives us rest, and for the kind Being of the darkness that gives us light, the moon. We thank Him for the bright spots in the skies that give us signs, the stars. We give Him thanks for our supporters, who had charge of our harvests. We give thanks that the voice of the Great Spirit can still be heard through the words of Ga-ne-o-di-o. We thank the Great Spirit that we have the privilege of this pleasant occasion. We give thanks for the persons who can sing the Great Spirit's music, and hope they will be privileged to continue in his faith. We thank the Great Spirit for all the persons who perform the ceremonies on this occasion.
