Thanks!
The spousal companion is splitting time between watching the Macy's Parade and making pumpkin pie . Youngest son, newly reunited for the long weekend, is upstairs asleep. My time in the kitchen will come soon: I'm making purple mashed taters and green bean casserole for the family gathering in a few hours. I've looked over the Black Friday ads and have confirmed there's nothing worth getting up at 4 AM and fighting crazed bargain hunters for.
Time to reflect briefly on what I'm thankful for.
PS -- Dinner has been served, the purple potatoes were, if not a smashing hit,at least received politely. Now I'm thankful I cleaned up all my cooking mess as I went along.
Time to reflect briefly on what I'm thankful for.
- First and foremost, I'm thankful for my wife and sons, who continue to give meaning to my life.
- I'm thankful everyone in my family is healthy, both physically and mentally.
- I'm thankful my two sons are finding who they are and what makes them happy.
- I'm thankful I have a roof over my head.
- I'm thankful I have a job. Despite my occasional grousing, I feel fortunate to be doing what I'm doing. I'm also thankful former colleagues who lost their jobs in the layoffs over the last year have found new jobs.
- I'm thankful for music, art and books.
- I'm thankful electronic devices have off switches -- especially televisions and radios.
- I'm thankful for cats.
- Finally I'm thankful for having a wide-ranging and diverse group of friends. They make life incredibly interesting.
