Thanksgiving 2012
"The Maier Home"
For All Who Dwell or Visit This Home on this day, 
November 22, 2012 (00:00-23:59):

•	Please pick one piece of colored card paper.
•	With the writing tools provided, write your full name, birthdate, and the time of day that you begin to write. BE IMAGINATIVE! Use any size, any style, any place on this sheet in any direction.
•	Describe using this same imaginative presentation three things that you are thankful for this past year alone in like 10 words or less for each to not exceed 30 words for all three thankful things.  Take your time and consideration of your presentation before you begin to write anything on the page. You do not get to start over with a new sheet of paper.
•	Symbolically, please choose and draw anywhere on the page a symbol for each of these three things. Consider that you may not have to directly place the symbol next to the words.  
          
            Such as [      ] may represent love, [    ] (sign for infinity) may represent forever, [     ] (flower) may represent
            beauty or growth, etc  
  
•	**Internet Assignment**: For those who have the time during the day. To be read or presented during or shortly after dinner time, please go online and find a personally known friend, associated, family member who shares portions of their life and places them online to a world united.  Please pick and choose something of their writing, [ or other media] that inspires you to share this Thanksgiving Day to this household family and friends. If you choose photos, then they will have to be presented.  If you choose a video, we all will have to watch it.  If you reference  books or other publications which are personally authored by someone you know, a request is made that everyone present in this home during the day would obtain a copy and read it. Simply, what is shared here should be something that validates our relationships outside of us.  For those who do not have the time during the day to go online before dinner time, it would be helpful if you followed up with this sharing information.
•	Lastly, in consideration of strangers who we don't yet know. It will be with pride that we take strides in our day to offer a helping heart outward... It may take you a few days to weeks to choose one person in the world that you never knew before.  Whatever language they speak and write should not be any issue to overcome. Please choose one person out in our world.  A person that is a complete stranger means that their name has never entered into your human memory before today.  Personally research their views, even if you disagree with them.  This assignment here is one of the most important elements of this presentation I ask of you. Please personally write to your best ability a letter of appreciation to them which will be accompanied with everything about our Maier Home Thanksgiving This year.  It will include the colored paper messages along with the materials chosen from the Internet of one person outside of this home personally known to us.  Our sharing presentation can and should be personal which means that it will not be required to be posted in full world view online.

This Is Doable! This Should Be Done! This Must Be Done!

Go fix some weighty truth;
Chain down some passion; do some generous good;
Teach Ignorance to see, or Grief to smile;
Correct thy friend; befriend thy greatest foe;
Be just in all things; make amends
For follies past, and, with warm heart,
Forgive, and be forgiven. Let work not words
Thy virtue prove. Go act as well as prate,
And then thy counsels will be strong,
Thy reprimands avail. —ANON
