Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Nov. 27th, 2008 03:07 amEach time this year since the late 90s, I do take some time to think about things, situations, people, friends, and family for which I am truly thankful. This LJ community is wonderful. Though I don't spend as much time or put in as much effort as others, I do get a lot out of the interactions, the reading, the posting, and bantering around of ideas. Plus, some new friendships without LJ wouldn't have necessarily come to fruition, unless the universe had conspired otherwise.
I'm truly thankful to be a part of this community, knowing you all, and knowing a part of other lives outside of my current environs and closer-by friends.
My belly will be thankful for all the food that my husband is preparing in the kitchen right now; I've offered to help (and have done minor things), but our the current kitchen is far too small for two bears to put together a meal. Oddly enough, it's just the two of us. We typically host a pre-Thanksgiving dinner, but that didn't happen this year. For the actual day, we've become accustomed to going out for dinner, except last year we hosted. We had hoped that would become the NJ family tradition - Matt and me hosting Thanksgiving Day Dinner; that didn't pan out this year. So, it's just the two of us, and it'll be great, relaxing, and producing LOTS of leftovers.
Then we're off to Ocean Grove & Asbury Park for the annual Santa Saturday. The venue change will be interesting to say the least, and we'll be staying about a 5-minute walk away from the host hotel and bar. I'm looking forward to that!
Here's wishing you all a wonderful, safe, belly-filling Thanksgiving Day and feast! Consider all the great things and live we currently have around us and that we're a part of. It's truly amazing and awe-striking for me sometimes.
