A message from June 2010 candidate Jenny Miller-Nov.

By Jenny Miller, Candidate for Osage Nation Congress

This month is a time for Thanksgiving and I have much to be thankful for.

I encourage all of you to take time to give thanks and to be thankful for the memories of days gone by and those we miss so dearly. Be thankful for the happy times we shared with our grandparents, our parents, our family and our friends during the holidays and beyond.

I encourage you to make each day a good and happy one for your sake and others because it is today that we have and should make the most of.

Add an extra can of pumpkin or corn to your grocery list for those less fortunate, spare a plate for your neighbor and remember a dear old friend with a call of good wishes.

Experience the kindness in your heart and give freely with love so that others may pass it on. This is a practice that reaps overwhelming rewards of which I have enjoyed since childhood and am grateful to have learned.

For each of you I wish a safe, happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.
