Thanksgiving was the best in many years

This year, I celebrated Thanksgiving with family and friends and, for several reasons, it was the best Thanksgiving I’ve enjoyed in many years. I’ll remember and treasure it for a long time.

My oldest granddaughter, Courtnie, recently moved into her new home and volunteered to host our Thanksgiving celebration. I’m sure it was a lot of work for her, but many others pitched in to help.

I love watching as the next generation takes on responsibilities and starts traditions of their own that we can share.

When I was a kid, we always went to my grandfather’s house for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Later, as an adult, I would visit various friends and family members as I moved around the country.

This year, I spent Thanksgiving with my granddaughter and look forward to Christmas morning brunch with my daughter. The Christmas breakfast will have some of the same people sharing, but won’t be as large as the Thanksgiving celebration.

I’m not sure how many people were at Courtnie and Danny’s home for Thanksgiving, but it must have been around forty or fifty. It’s a good thing it was a warm and sunny day and we could spread out throughout the house, the porch, deck, and yard. All of us would never have fit inside if it had been cold and rainy.

As with all families, some of us have had our differences in the past, but it was good to see all of us come together and enjoy each other’s company with no disagreements, arguments, or hard feelings.

The food was outstanding, and I really enjoyed the meal, but even more importantly, I enjoyed the after-eating conversation and laughter. We had a great time.

Yesterday morning, over my first cup of coffee, I jotted down some of my thoughts and recollections from Thanksgiving Day and posted them on my profile at Facebook. I decided today that I’m going to repost them here.

I’m thankful for…

…hugs from beautiful women…

…enjoying time together with optimistic, happy people…

…watching a Marine Corps Iraq War veteran roll his eyes when I told him the last time I saw him he was only this tall (and then hold my hand out about waist high)…

…lumpy mashed potatoes, because you know someone took the time to make them the right way, rather than pouring some flakes out of a box…

…hand-made whipped cream with a touch of maple syrup in it…

…laughing out loud with my family…

…watching little children who are just starting their life’s journey…

…letting the old folks fix their plates first, and then realizing I’m one of the old folks and it’s my turn to eat!…

…catching up on all the things going on in our lives…

…Thanksgiving coming just right in my chemo schedule so that I felt good, had some energy, and my taste buds cooperated on one of the most important days of the year…

… having a wonderful, loving, beautiful, and talented daughter…

…hugs from beautiful women…

…and more things I (or you) will think of…

I’m very thankful for still being here. Back in March, it didn’t look like I was going to live this long, but now it’s looking like we’re going to kick this cancer and I hope to be around for quite a few more years.

I had a wonderful time with my family and friends this year.

I hope you did, too.
