Happy Thanksgiving

I am truly thankful on this Thanksgiving Day for my friends and family, especially for those who have been rallying around me during a dark time. I am thankful for a warm house (even though it has mice), and a job with a decent salary (even if I really do want a different one) and for all the other blessings available to me every day that I take for granted: a computer, clean water, transportation, the right to vote, the ability to read, the ability to use all my limbs, and more. For those of you who have family and friends to spend this day with, travel safely, eat safely, and I hope you end up with just enough leftovers. For those of you who are alone, I hope you find a way to celebrate this day in a way that suits you best.

We will be going to my sister's for dinner today, and I will be bringing the artichoke dip.
