Sailing Through

Hello.
I suppose it would be beneficial
to be festive, in the spirit
of turkey-eating, parades with
big floats, dog shows full of ugly mop-dogs,
and football. And family and eating.


It's a horrible holiday, in theory:
people cook. People eat.
People watch sports.


Oh, but it is so much more,
I think.
It is one of my favorites.


For I guess we must all grapple
with what we are thankful for
at this time.


Plus, I really love to cook,
so it's an added bonus.


And I guess I really enjoy seeing
my family. And eating lots of food with them.
And making fun of ugly dogs with them.
We have a good time.


So I guess you ought to decide
what you're thankful for,
it is a good thing to 
evaluate the good in our lives.
It makes us appreciate what we have
and who we are.


So I am thankful for my friends.
For my health
and for a wonderful year
I think. 
I am thankful for the good people
and the good times, and for wonderful
relationships with fantastic people.


So yes.
Eat. Drink. And be very merry.
For we can only eat so much a few times
a year. ;D
