With Thanksgiving fast approaching like many others I find myself fighting to keep a PMA.
Our tradition was always to go to MIL's house. Last year W continued that tradition, without me of course. Oh but OM was there! So I did some stuff around the house, went and saw a friend, played around with my motorcycles. I had fun in spite of my sitch. This year I have the kids, so we're going to Houston to visit my mom. My brother and sister are going to meet us there. My mom always puts on a big spread of food at Christmas, but this is the first time we'll be there for Thanksgiving. My kids are really excited about it So we're making a new tradition! So that's my advice, make plans to do something fun whatever that may be. Go visit other relatives. Go to a movie. Tinker with a project. Don't fret over what you're not doing, focus on what you are doing.

I am fighting with myself to not reach out with emailing WAW a happy thanksgiving wish.
Why? Are you afraid she'll say "oh I was this close to reconciling, but now he said Happy Thanksgiving! The nerve! I'll never get back together with this jerk!!" Seriously, wishing her Happy Thanksgiving is not a deal-breaker! But like I said earlier, do it with no expectations of a response. Do it because it's being true to who you are.
