A day to be thankful
This is mostly for Americans, but everyone else is also welcome -- Thanksgiving is supposed to be that kind of holiday. This is the day to forget, just for a few hours, about all the cares weighing down upon you. It's a day to remember everything you are grateful for -- family, friends, work that satisfies, hobbies you enjoy, health you are smart enough not to take for granted.
Even if you're not sharing the so-called traditional meal, that's just fine -- I can't eat much of that meal, either. Share what you have, laugh a lot, tell good stories and listen to others tell their tales.
It was 87 F yesterday, a record for the region. Tonight it will drop to 30, thanks to the cold front barreling down on us. My winecup rose is bravely waving blossoms at me, letting me know it wants even less direct sun on its roots next year. I'm doing what I can to improve its lot -- like finding it a hill to clamber over -- and trusting that next year I will be even more grateful, as things will continue to improve. (That's a Katy Rose Pink up there -- I don't have a good picture of a winecup rose, sadly.)
Blessed Be your life. May joy follow you everywhere.
