I am thankful that I am still here. Now fully vaccinated and boosted too. Tomorrow we will be hosting Thanksgiving. We missed the traditional gathering last year. We also skipped the annual family Christmas gathering. I felt left out as I saw pictures of friends celebrating with their families.
I’ll remember this year as the second year of the pandemic and for the election that ended in bloodshed. I won’t forget the smokey skies of summer or the crunchy brown grass that went dormant during the drought. It is also the year that the lilacs bloomed in November.
Tomorrow we will eat turkey and cranberries and potatoes and more. There will be pie too. The house will be full of people and I am thankful for that.
I hope you have as much to be thankful for as I do.
