Another time to be thankful

A lot of people I know/have known just love to spew about how thankful they are for this, that and the other - but usually, it's done in a manner of self-serving platitudes and managing to exude their wonderfulness while not taking responsibility for the harm they may have caused others.  Nonetheless, when I read or hear certain individuals deliver their sermons, I just shake my head.  I can't help it.  So let's keep it simple:

I have a lot to be thankful for.  I have a beautiful new home; no debt; my health, friends, things that fulfill me (like music and writing), family and love.  The person I love is healthy after a year of difficulty and we are together and happy.  So no more nor less need be said.

We will shop later today for Thanksgiving groceries and I will savor this year's feast with a great deal of joy.

And my wish to all is everyone be with the ones you love and be thankful for that.

Peaceful, easy feeling

Yes, that's a double-edged sword of a title.  I'm feeling very good; very relaxed - looking around at our new apartment - everything in its place and it makes me happy and proud.  And we're going to the Garden tonight to see The Eagles, which makes me completely uncool.  However, I could give less than a shit, since it was high time I acknowledged that deep down inside, I always liked them - ever since I was a kid, hearing those singles on AM radio in our Opel Kadett wagon. 

Today is even more special, as a dear friend of mine is getting married.  As much as it pains me to know we can't be with the happy couple, our love and positive thoughts are with them.  I hope Frank and Trish have a lifetime of happiness ahead of them and I'm sending them all my love.

So how could I not feel laid back and relax for once?  Now it's time to grocery shop.  Tomorrow, it's back to writing reviews...
