Happy Thanksgiving


So Thanksgiving here started off with snorkeling with our Breakfast Club partners, Courtney and Christine. Then off to John D's for a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner.

The day also included a pause - for those of us old enough - to remember where we were on November 22, 1963, a Friday that year, when President Kennedy was assassinated. It was one of those defining moments. Everyone who remembers knows exactly where he/she was when the news broke. I even remember the color of the walls in my middle school classroom.

But this year the 22nd is a Thursday, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. We have so much to be grateful for. At the most mundane level, we are grateful we can start a day at the end of November snorkeling. At a much higher level, we are grateful - and hopefully we show it every day, not just once a year - for our family, for our many many wonderful friends, for our health, for the life we are living.

With gratitude, Happy Thanksgiving.
