This is inspiring. I’ve just opened my eyes, and I plan to tell people all day what I’m thankful for. This was a fantastic way to start a proper Thanksgiving day. Thank you, Susannah. You’re the best! Your friendship means so much to me, sparking joy in humdrum days.

It’s supposed to be, but the way things change around here, who knows. I knew all the Broadway shows that are shackled, were performing on floats. We’ll see. After a very desolate run in the Park and trip to the market, the city, at least where I am, is quiet and deserted.

I can almost feel it off your description.
I took my kids there a few times. We’d park in Jersey and take the train right in. We ran into Ann Curry and got her to take a pic with the kids, like two times running. She was so sweet.

This is a temporary situation as far as I’m concerned. If people would accept, we have this raging disease that, would take leave faster if we were in acceptance mode, rather than retaliation, life would flow much easier.
Did you read about the synagogue in Brooklyn, that held a mask-less service for 7 thousand people? They were fined 15 grand, but be that as it may, as they go out into the world, how many people will suffer from their arrogance? It just throws me.

I had a bad exchange yesterday with a young man from AA who went nuts as an avid Trumpet. I was scared for my life, escaping his wrath. I saw the ire in the cult, as a friend of mine describes DJT’s following. I have to tell you Mark, it scared the hell out of me.

It IS a cult. They worship this fucking guy as if he’s promising them two tickets to paradise so long as they sign their lives away to his madness. All that’s missing is a compound and Kool aid. It’s sickening.

We have two new guests for Thanksgiving this year. The first is my fifth grandchild, Zayne (8 mo). The second is a wild tiger cat with a broken front leg. She appeared 3 mo ago. We can now pet her as long as we squat down, but picking up is not allowed. She eats 9-Lives canned food in the morning, dry food the rest of the day, and sleeps on a loveseat under a heat lamp in the breezeway. It would be warmer if we could shut the outside door all the way, but it has to be open enough for her to get in and out or she freaks out.
Though this year is like a science fiction movie, have a happy Thanksgiving, Susannah!

Thanksgiving is a special time – giving thanks to God for all the blessings He so generously pours on us…a daily thing for me. I’m thankful for gifted writers like yourself. I’ve followed you for quite a time and enjoyed volumes of delicious posts. I’ve also followed the comments and replies closely. Sometimes one feels out of place.,,that’s me. You will always be successful, Susannah.

Our Thanksgivings have evolved over the years too. When I was young in Canada, we only celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with my immediate family, although we had a lot of food. In Korea, we might have had chicken since turkey isn’t a thing over there. In the US, we usually go to Leah’s place for American Thanksgiving where they always had the huge extended family gathering, although these days people are tending to do separate things some years. And of course this year is totally different.
