  • I had a really good Thanksgiving Day.  True I had to work, but working night shift staring at 6pm, and mom had dinner at 4.  Had to get up and get to mom's and all the family had gathered, grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins, my brothers, sister, niece, and some friends.  It was casual and relaxed. 

    It was the happy gathering of happy and fun people.  Not that our lives are perfect or we are perfect.  But for the day, we were happy and together, and enjoying that.  Thats worth a lot, a lot to be thankful for.

    And back at home watching the news, about dinners at shelters, or no dinners at all.  Makes me think I probably have more than I realize. I can go to bed warm and secure, at least today.
