Happy Thanksgiving

I know this year for many, Thanksgiving will not be the same traditional gathering with friends and family.  And I know that 2020 has been a year the likes of which I would rather not repeat.  But even so, there is much to be thankful for.

I am thankful for family, for even though I can't see most of them just now, their phone calls - hearing their voices - hearing about what they have been doing - brings me more joy than they know.

I am thankful for friends who stay in touch.  They keep me from feeling isolated and they keep me informed about what is going on in our crazy world and most importantly, they make me smile.

I am thankful for each and every one of you who visit this silly little blog.  For without all of you, this whole thing would be pointless.  I enjoy your comments and I have the added benefit of learning much from them.  You all are greatly appreciated.

So enjoy your Thanksgiving even if it isn't what we would prefer.  May God bless each and every one of you and keep you safe. 

With a grateful heart,

Vicki

    We do have much to be thankful for and I'm trying to remember that.

    1. John...It is hard to be thankful sometimes when the world around us seems to be swirling down the drain. But I figure that any day I am upright and taking nourishment has to be a good day. May God richly bless you and yours.

    1. Pat...I am sorry you have to spend the day alone. It is not easy in these troubling times. But I have faith that we will get through it all.
      It is pretty much a given that 'our betters' will have a full compliment of relatives and friends at their Thanksgiving tables. "Rules for thee but not for me." Someday, somewhere, there will be an accounting for their actions. I think I will be glad I am not then in their shoes.
