Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

I am feeling very bittersweet pangs on the morning of this, our last Thanksgiving in this house. In the middle of complex issues, we will be moving very soon...less than 20 miles away, but a move is a move. This little house has been a godsend to us in so many ways. A blessing. As annoyed as I got with its 100-year-old issues, the good has far outweighed the bad.

I am thankful for my little family, and my extended one. We have weathered many storms of late, and have survived.

I am thankful that I have successfully entered my new career field and become gainfully employed, and that I have gone from student to teacher, both K-12 and college.

I am thankful for my health, and that of most of my family.

I am thankful for the many friends, contacts, and resources that have been here to help during recent crises.

And I am thankful for the food in my kitchen, ready to share with loved ones.

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all!

JM--I sent you an email regarding the change of your bio snippet on the NFBloggers site. I haven't heard back from you and I know that sometimes you don't receive my emails--check your trash :)
