I am so full of thanks I can barely move.  But…my kitchen is cleaned, all the food put away, the turkey carcass is in the soup pot.  The kitchen is closed, except for a momentary opening to whip some cream in awhile.  My son is sound asleep on the couch in a tryptophan coma.  We have University of Connecticut basketball on the tv.  UConn is ranked pre-season at 18th in the nation.  They are playing Syracuse, one of their big rivals, who are unranked, and Syracuse is winning at the moment by 6 points.

I am starting my 2nd glass of wine now that the kitchen is done.  What a huge amount of food for two people, lol.  I won’t have to cook though, until next week.  I talked to a lot of friends, and family on the phone, by text.  It has felt warm and close and lovely all day.

I really am grateful, for so many things.  I try to make at least a mental list every day.  It is so nice to have my son here all day, and he’s been hanging with me, all day, instead of down in his man-cave.  Still not sure if we will be joined this evening by his friends.

My sister suggested I start volunteering at something even a few hours a month.  She said, that will lift you more than anything else you can do.  I think she’s right.  My bff was talking about starting up something to do with seniors, I sent her a text and asked her to talk to me about it sometime over the weekend.  I need to expand my horizons.  I need to give back, I have been so blessed.  And I need to stop focusing on some stupid drama I should have never been involved in.

Want to spend my time focused on improving this world, and giving back.  I am sick of myself.  And grateful.  LOL.

Love and light on this Thanksgiving Day.
