It’s a little silly how we concentrate, today, on the things that we have in abundance. We should do it every day, all year. And maybe you do, and this is just me. But I could do it more.
We went for a morning run, the now traditional turkey trot.
It was, of course, a neighborhood run, an unofficial trot, if you will. It was still good to get outside to do it, and I only survived by thinking of the food I’d get to enjoy this evening. And the food was wonderful. We made a delicious turkey breast that cooked and cut nearly perfectly. The Yankee found a new recipe for sweet potato casserole, messed up the proportions for the toppings and we found that we preferred it that way. I had some of my mother’s patented and traditional dressing:
We had green beans, just to change the color scheme of the plate.
Did a video chat this afternoon, and phone calls and more video chats this evening. And this is what I am abundantly thankful for: while we were not today with the rest of the people we care about, they are all safe and healthy and happy. That’s our greatest abundance.
I hope you and your family are safe, and that you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
