It's Thanksgiving tomorrow. Are you ready?

Ready to eat? Sure. Ready to watch the football game? You bet.

But are you ready to be thankful and really mean it? Are you ready to show heartfelt gratitude?

There is so much to be thankful for. Our lives, our families, our friends, our country. This wonderful place we live in - Sublette County, Wyoming. We are so very lucky, and we should never take these things for granted.

Continuing a Journal tradition, we've asked Sublette County residents to express why they're thankful about six parts of life. This year, we've chosen to consider Community, Work, Church, Family, Home, and Son. The essays begin on page 10.

Happy Thanksgiving!
