Really? You might want to rethink that comment. lol

Personally, I don’t think we have had a single day that “feels like any other day” in months. Maybe in January there were a few. But, to be safe, I’d go back to summer 2019 and earlier.

I'm not much for holidays, anyway. I just try to life the right life every day. But I understand how people who are more into them can feel some disappointment at such a horrible time.

I hope everybody is able to find a way to have a nice day. Things will get better, and that's something.

I woke up to Happy Thanksgiving texts and emails from friends and family. One email included an article about how we actually came to celebrate Thanksgiving. Call me surprised but it has nothing to do with the pilgrims!

There will be no gathering for my friends and family today but it is definitely a day to celebrate and give thanks.

You're right, it does not (thankfully) feel like Thanksgiving. No hiding from crazy uncle Eddie, no listening to criticizing aunt Minnie telling everyone what they've done wrong or should be doing, no bickering among the cousins.

What it is is a peaceful day of reflecting about all the things for which I am grateful, including crazy uncle Eddie, critical aunt Minnie and the bickering cousins.

It is also a day of cooking exactly the meal I want, at my pace and in my time frame. No rushing to meet a schedule.

A Thanksgiving that allows me to fully honor the meaning of the day without interruption or concession.

The eyes through which you see others may be the same as how they see you.

This was something different for me, though- My father called me today. He never calls me on holidays and he even called me two weeks ago on my birthday. Hope he's not dying. He's 88.

I loved it, everything was delicious, desserts were so good. We ate at noon, son had to go back to work by 3p. I will be ready for dinner and have seconds by 5/6p.
