What are you thankful for?

Living – November 3, 2009 - 4:00am

Your mom’s chocolate chip cookies. A friend who listened when you had a problem. A sunny day.

The simplest things can often bring the greatest joys. We’d like to know what you’re thankful for this year for a special Thanksgiving tribute. Here are the parameters:

You must be able to express it in five or fewer words. It can be anything, whether personal and profound, or simple and joyous.

You can’t use specific names, but you can identify people by relationship, such as mother, minister, teacher, etc.

Include your name and a daytime phone number (not for publication).

We must receive your submission by Nov. 17. E-mail your contribution to cathyr@DemocratandChronicle.com, with Giving Thanks in the subject line, or mail it to Giving Thanks, Living Section, Democrat and Chronicle, 55 Exchange Blvd., Rochester, NY 14614.
