I'm sure the Native Americans on the forum aren't so thrilled with this holiday. Nonetheless, I wish everyone a terrific and safe Thanksgiving. Remember, there is always someone or something for which to be grateful. Now is a great time to tell them or give appreciation when it's deserved. (Days off work, football, large meals, and Black Friday are just icing on the cake.)
Four years ago I was in the middle of radiation treatment for a complex Stage IV cancer with the outcome in doubt. Even though I couldn't eat anything except turkey broth, I cooked the entire Thanksgiving Day meal for my wife and her family...turkey and the works...just because I was so grateful to have that one day to be ABLE to cook. Pardon if this is silly or perhaps mushy, but each day is like another step in a long walk. Take one step at a time and always appreciate the journey.
I appreciate you kind people who have shared this forum with me. I am thankful for your wisdom, humor, and help. I'm blessed to know you, even if only by sometimes goofy screen names on a 17 inch monitor.
Much good cheer to all.
