My Danish friends refer to Thanksgiving as “”That turkey day”. It is not a holiday they understand well and that is ok as I really don’t understand Hans Christian Andersen day. I do appreciate the whit Montag aspect of their holidays and wish we could adopt the philosophy in the states.

Last year I dreaded an aspect of the Thanksgiving celebration. The one where we express what we are thankful for. I was grateful that this tradition was not adhered to last year.

I have prepared something for this year and I am in a better frame of mind. One aspect is that X and I shared about 27 mostly happy years. They weren’t prefect (what ever is) and in that time we both occasionally did some pretty destructive things. IDK, perhaps I have forgiven myself as I can find few regrets looking back.

I am thankful for the guidance, mentorship, compassion and the occasional 2X4 I have received here.
I am thankful for the friendship and love I have received.

Happy Thanksgiving, and to my Canadian friends I hope your celebration last month was joyous.
