Thanksgiving

I am so thankful for so many messages, phone calls and contacts from everyone - family, friends, and neighbors.

I am thankful to be able to cook my meal and have leftovers to package up for other future dinners.

I am thankful that I don't feel alone and have a special candle burning at the empty seat in my dining room. I lit it at 7:30 am and at 5pm it is still going strong. 

I am thankful for peace and quiet and the ability to look out my windows and see others enjoying the fresh air as they walk around the lake, probably after having their own good meal. 

Of course these are only a very few of my current feelings of thankfulness but I do experience it every day.

My beverage was a delicious glass of local cider. Next year I must remember to make some of the tiny creamed onions that everyone always loved when we fed a crowd!

My approach is:  less is more - keep it simple.
