This has always been my favorite holiday. This year is somewhat reminiscent of when I was 5 or 6 years old (circa 1969) and there was a significant snow in upstate NY. As I remember it, we went into my Grammy Grunt's, ate, came out to get in the car to go home, when we discovered over a foot of snow had fallen!
This year (2014) it is Thanksgiving eve and we are in the midst of a snow storm that is expected to dump between 6 and 10 inches of the white stuff. For this I am thankful. I am thankful for my family and friends, without whom I would be lost and hollow and my furry loved ones, past and present. The past few days have been emotionally challenging and unsettling for me but has offered up an opportunity for me to truly recognize and appreciate the value of sincere, reciprocal and deeply meaningful friendships and to jettison others that come up lacking.
Peace and plenty be with you and yours this holiday season.
