I am absolutely dumbfounded by this reply!

Subject: THANKSGIVING 99
Dear list,
In preparation for our company Thanksgiving feast, the lady in
charge
came to me and ask me to write a Thanksgiving message. I replied by
saying I do not feel like writing one this year. She said "it is
for
others to enjoy and not just for yourself". The next morning I was
leaving my home to go to work and stepped out side and observed the
skies, it was overcast and foggy after a very beautiful week. I
commented to my house guest by the name of Jerry who was setting on
my
front porch, " this is not as pretty day as yesterday". He looked
me in
the eyes and his reply was " Any morning I see is a beautiful
morning.". You see he and his family has been life long friends and
he
is dying and only has a short time to live and he was not expected
to
still be with us for Thanksgiving. While driving to work, I
decided to
write the Thanksgiving letter through his eyes. He would love to go
to
work and do all the things work requires, but he can't. My worst
event
on my worst day is not worthy of comment in his presents. We
celebrate
the joy of living while together. Life is to enjoy even under the
worst
of circumstances, after all it can be worst.
Sure enough.
