Another Chapter to be written :-)

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING" to all of my friends here in blog-land and the village. I have read some amazing posts on gratitude and positive attitude and blessings and hope and love and healing and truth and tradition and compassion.................

I don't have anything profound to add...........only that it is an honor and a blessing of gratitude to share this arena with each and every one of you. I am humbled by your writing skill, sharing, courage, love, gifts and talents, purpose, hopes, promises, passions, goodness, sufferings, determination, inspiration, wisdom, enlightenment, sacrifices, faith, despair, joy, and your kindness and validation of me - I am humbled beyond words.


....and although we don't "see" each other we "feel" and "know" each other quite intimately. And you all have reached out to me and have accepted my reach to you in good times and in bad - we have been there for one another laughing and crying, listening and sharing, understanding and offering............and so I picked this song for all of you this Thanksgiving..... with deep gratitude, respect, desire, and hope for us all......




As of tomorrow, Tuesday, I will be limited to computer access. With great joy we will be putting up our tree tomorrow - in preparation for our granddaughter and Skipp's son arrival on Friday. We are going to have their gifts under the tree and have a pre-Christmas celebration. Skipp is on vacation starting tomorrow and we are going to "catch up" with ourselves. :-) He is off through Saturday. So tomorrow is tree day, and I will get my Mom as she so enjoys being part of the festivities. It will be wonderful. On Wednesday we are making my 'famous stuffing'!! And preparing the buttternut squash and sweet potato dish. On Thanksgiving we are going tomy son's home in Brooklyn. He is hosting dinner this year and is serving "tur-duck-en"!!! My daughter, grandson and her fiance' are also going. I am SO excited. Skipp's son Adam and our grand daughter Alaura arrive on Friday and will be staying with us until Tuesday morning, 12/1. We plan to go to Skipp's restaurant on either the Sunday or Monday so he can show Alaura off to his staff. :-) And I am so aware that this is our chance to write a chapter of "her story".......they live in Maine so she will not spend a lot of time with us over all. This chapter will read with love, and laughter, music, and fun food, books to read, and walks, flannel pajamas, and big quilts, stuffed animals and hot chocolate, holding hands and praying at meals................... good memories. :-)

I will be back on next week some time, Until then, "Thank you" all and "Happy Thanksgiving".....
