Last year I wrote a big long blog about all of the things and people I am thankful for...I would like to say...ditto! It was this time last year that I was in a slump and one way I found comfort was in writing this...I have been writing off and on all year but I still find a measure of solace and even fun in writing this.
Now comes Christmas...I do not like it...not at all...but I do like Santa Claus...come back...we will talk!

Sounds like eggnog, celery, and onions were the highlight of Turkey Day! Thanks for this post and all of the others. Your "voice" is very strong (and enjoyable) in your writing. Go make Billy another pot roast...
I do enjoy reading your blog...it was one of the first emails I opened when I returned home. Ciao! See you tomorrow.
I always enjoy reading your thoughts. This year was more cheerful than last year. I worried about you then. Now I am happy that you are happy again. You have so much to be thankful for as I do too. Back to work tomorrow and take care of my Billy.
