Gratitude
I am thankful for Dave; our families; friends who love and support me; good health; tea with milk and sugar; the ability to run, swim, bike, walk, hike, and enjoy the outdoors; and the results of this year's national election.
I am also grateful for our sweet old car. I drove a Ford Escape yesterday while our little coche was in for routine maintenance. I hated it. Driving that thing, I felt completely isolated from the world around me, and not totally in control, like I was at the helm of a shrimp trawler. And that's a small SUV. Definitely not for me.
It's 9:30am, which means it's time for me to break out the bourbon. Happy Thanksgiving!
(In case you're wondering, it's for making bourbon balls, not for drinking. Well, mostly for bourbon balls.)
(Which reminds me... damn. All of my family recipes are on the still-not-recovered computer. ARGH!)
