Happy Thanksgiving,

11/21/2018

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I am cooking, but a slightly smaller menu since I have no one else coming. I like dark meat, so I just bought turkey legs to bake. We had a party yesterday at the apartment, and I made green bean casserole. Two others did also, so I had some left. Another thing I do not have to cook. I have had enough pumpkin pie in the last few days to last me, so I do not think I will fix a dessert. I will, however, make my stuffing and my sweet potatoes.

I am ok with being alone, too. I have my little Yorkie, Riley, to keep me company, and I will have the TV on the games, even though I do not like to watch them. The sound of them in the background remind me of other Thanksgivings when the house was full. I really think this “atmosphere” makes me happy, although I am alone.

BUT, as I said above, I am alone and have been for some time. I have friends here, but I am the “matriarch” of them all. For the longest time when I was much younger I was “the young one.” Most of my friends and romantic involvements were older. Since moving to Florida, I have slowly become the oldest, especially with my friends. Most are about the age of my brother – six years my junior. And they are good friends who really care about my wellbeing.
​

So, on this eve of Thanksgiving I am very thankful for what I have and especially what I have had in my life. With 72 looming over me, I realize, I had lead an interesting and very full life. And I am very thankful for it.
