Thanksgiving today was a wonderful celebration of family and food. We ate a lovely turkey dinner at He-yet's parents' house, where we were joined by our friends Barney and Holly. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (the good kind where it retains the shape of the can), mixed vegetables, butternut squash, my homemade cranberry bread, and graham cracker pie and pumpkin cake. I didn't eat too much, just enough to tide me over for the day. It was delightful.
I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday, and I'm very grateful for everything in my life. Last year at this time, I never dreamed I'd be married before the following Thanksgiving. Life moves fast. I have a wonderful family, extended and otherwise, and my friends are blessings in themselves. I have my health and moderate financial solvency. I may not be as happy with my business progress as I could be, but I'm moving in the right direction, and I have companions on the road ahead. Life is blessed.
