Arlington: Being Thankful

Thanksgiving gives all ages to pause and consider: “What are you thankful for?”

Alex LaBonte, 7 years old, whose family is moving to Arlington in December, is grateful for "my family, my friends and food — cheese pizza!" His parents have brought Alex and his brother to see his new house and to play in the local park a block away.

Seniors at Culpepper Garden and the Lee Senior Center Thanksgiving lunch plus pre-schoolers at a park on Harrison Street answer the question “what are you thankful for at Thanksgiving.” Some common themes emerge from the generations. Family is the number one blessing with various kinds of recreation or play, food and finally life itself. And finally, gratitude from immigrants that they are in America where they have found a good life.
