Thanksgiving is just one week off. It is appropriate to call “time out” to the daily cares and tasks and to think, for a moment, about the things of our lives that make us thankful.

We would like to hear from you, our readers. What makes you thankful?

We have posed this question in the past and received a great array of answers, from the young to the old, about the tangibles and intangibles that forge life-enriching buoys of gratitude.

Please let us know. We will print your letters in the paper on Thanksgiving Day, next week. You may send e-mails, fax your thoughts to 804-693-7844, drop them off at the Gloucester or Mathews office, or submit them by mail to P.O. Box 2060, Gloucester, Va. 23061. But please hurry! We need to have them by noon Monday as we have early deadlines next week.

If you have questions, please give us a call at 804-693-3101. Otherwise, we do hope to hear from you. ...
