I've been sappy all day, and news from Mumbai sent me over the top about how to approach my/our day for thanks. Shouldn't take Mumbai to provoke that, given the many tragedies that abound in our world. And yet, I've spent hours today on the phone with family members over silly matters like do we need some more folding chairs, what happens if there isn't a microwave to keep casseroles hot, oh, oh, oh...on and on. Take a pill. In any event, I'm thankful that I can acknowledge all silliness and all that I have to be thankful for. And, I don't give a hoot who wants to call me an Obamabot (read: as if no brain, think Pink Floyd video), I am grateful for president-elect Obama. 55 days can't pass too soon for me. Won't be easy, hard to believe it could be worse. Scratch a cynic, find an optimist.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
