1. For family not here; And friends who are. Friends who care, who have passion and work hard at their hobbies. In this Valley, with every birthday...the harder you dance and play. Not a 'dull' gene in the Valley.
2. For sunglasses, sunscreen and hats to enjoy the tropical warmth bright light and fresh air; For electric blankets on wet colder nights; And always for the de-humidifying machine.
3. For earth quakes that shake more like a big smoothy drink than a cocktail with ice cubes in it; A volcano that does not blow; And my sturdy little house that is still standing with no cracks or holes to let the rain or insects in.
4. For the coffee harvest; The red cherries safely out of the field being pulped; Even the ugly ones, we'll get them out too and they will pay bills; The oranges that pay for their own picking and put food on workers tables; The bananas that feed all life, life with eight, six, four, and two legs; Day and night time life; Life that flies and life that doesn't.

5. For seeing a Crake eating bananas on the bird table; The Agouti on the old river bank and the armadillo in the rocks and even the Coati Mundi on the driveway on its way back from eating the neighbors eggs.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
