Marice is rocking downstairs as she sets
the table and performs culinary miracles in the kitchen. I’m upstairs at the
computer trying to think of something profound to share on this overcast, misty
Thanksgiving afternoon.
Normally, the kids would be here, hanging out
and waiting impatiently for the big spread later on. But their lives are more
complicated now, their holiday time to be shared with the families of their
significant others.
They’ll all be here later this evening,
and for that I’m extremely thankful. For a time, this big old house will be
noisy and chaotic again, as it should be on this family-oriented holiday. I’ll
sit back and soak in the love and happiness like a warm bath.
Some of you are experiencing crushing loss
today, and my heart goes out to you. I pray you have peace and are comforted in
your grief. For the rest of you, my devout hope is that this holiday will bring
you joy and fulfillment and the satisfaction of a life well lived.
If you’re traveling, do so safely. Happy
Thanksgiving, everyone!
