Thanksgiving is a day for giving thanks for all that we have. If you can't be at home with family then the next best thing is to be with friends. We had the most wonderfull turkey dinner with all the trimming and then some to include desert. We ate and we ate some more. We met new people and had good conversation.

Turkey day is also a day for memories. One of my memories is when we were invited to dinner at a friends house and at the dinner table everyone had to tell what they were thankful for, and it could not be just the everyday run of the meal thanks, you had to dig down and think about what you are really thankful for. Now every thanksgiving I ponder that question until I come up with the answer that feels right. This year I am thankful for being alive to enjoy and watch life and the new friends and loved ones that will enter our lives. This is a treasure when you can do this in good health.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and may you spend it with a loved one.
