Thank you to my children, Ali & Mark, who have grown
into adults who rescue kittens, help old people, say hello to everyone and are
optimistic about the future. You give me hope.
Thank you to my partner, Caesar,
who walks alongside me even when I am literally and figuratively tripping over
myself. I can’t think of a more patient person willing to consider my “brilliant
ideas” nor a more adventurous companion to my random road trips. You give me joy.
Thank you to my step-children, Sarah and
Melissa, who make me laugh and help me to look at things in new ways. You give
me courage.
Thank you to my extended family who gather around my table,
especially Danielle, Roseann and Carmen, my nieces, nephews and children in -laws, who lend tradition, continuity and allegiance
to my life. You give me love.
Thank you to my friends, old friends and forever
friends like Cathy Lynne and Barbara who “knew me when” and remarkably still
like me. You give me happiness.
Thank you to new
friends and work friends who make my life more meaningful through shared
challenges and experiences. Those people who are there day to day to share a
laugh and to share lunch. You give me solidarity.
Life is for the living and I am glad to be experiencing it
with all of you!
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
