Bright,
I'm glad you arrived at you vacation home safe and sound. I do hope that you can get some much needed rest while there.

Your BIL's Thanksgiving was quite interesting. He must have had a lot on his mind if he didn't have it all quite together. I'm glad the family was there to enjoy the day w/him. As for his GF...may her being a chatter box grated on his nerves because he was trying to catch up on everybody's lives.

As for your h, he held out until late in the evening and when he discovered no one was texting him with "Happy Thanksgiving", he opted to text to you and others. Maybe he finally realized that everyone was having a good time and he was on the back burner and wanted to remind all of you that he was still out there visiting Mars. Post cards do come floating in when they don't hear from us around certain events.

Please take care of yourself. Enjoy your time away and do some fun things while you are there.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
