happy thanksgiving…

bne uki was heading over to the nation station the other day and seen these wild turkeys in the buffalo pen. they moved so fast it was hard to get a picture of them. we have many of them on the rez.  i lucked out and dropped one while hunting in the timber along little soldier creek once. they dont weigh as much as the domesticated kind.

today is a day we give thanks. i know i am grateful for so many things. i love my home, remembering the days when i used to hitchhike to nowhere. wandering around is no way to live. i am thankful i am alive. i know that i could just as well not be here now.I am lucky my over indulgence in alcohol,drugs and violence didnt kill me. i think of my friends and relatives that are not here anymore. i miss my mother, 3 brothers and too many friends that i have lost. i will always remember them. i am grateful that i can sit down and have a big meal with my family. i never forget the times that i have gone hungry. i know that many people in the world still go hungry in spite of the wealth surrounding them. i am grateful my garden produced so well this year. there were years i didnt get much from my garden.

the list could go on and on. there is much to be thankful for. i wish everyone happy holidays.
