What are you thankful for this morning? I am thankful that I learned to cook early and often as a kid. I am even more thankful that I DIDN’T learn to bake, save the apple pie I’m about to put in the oven. I’m also thankful that I refused to learn to make coffee years ago and even more thankful I found a husband who makes it every morning and serves it to me before my feet hit the floor. Thankful to have a son who is smarter and kinder than I am (most days). Thankful to have the kind of republican friends who put up with my absurd political posts without comment. Thankful that Vince Dooley is gone and Andy Reid may be following. Thankful to work with a great group of dedicated folks who never seem to run out of steam (alert the vague transit reference…) Thankful to always pick homes in neighborhoods with the BEST neighbors. Thankful to have a terrific family, full of cousins and aunts, nieces and nephews. Thankful that despite not having our parents here on earth, our thanksgiving table is filled with friends who go a long way to stem the sadness of their absence. Amen.
