Happy November! š¦. I know we are all thankful for the big things - families, pets, remaining employed, healthcare heroes who work amidst COVID patients every day, etc.
Yet I am feeling a sense of weariness, driven by a continuing climb in number of coronavirus cases, by election politicking, and by loss of the ability to hang out with a group of friends for game nights.
I donāt want to be a Debbie Downer. I am pledging to take a moment each day this month to recognize some small thing for which I am grateful. I would love to share in your little gratitudes as well, if you are willing to share.
Today I am grateful for Alexa. She can tell me the weather one minute and then, āplay songs by Bill Withers and similar artistsā the next.

I am thankful for Husband, Sons, Granddaughter and Grandson. Of course those are big rather than little things. But they are what makes me happy when all is so crazy around me.

I'm thankful Halloween provided a few minutes of normalcy before what feels like a pending dark and lonely winter sets in.

Today I am grateful for the Hallmark Channel. Yes, they are already showing Christmas movies. But my gratitude stems from the ability to find a channel serving up mental cotton candy without any election coverage or commercials.

I donāt even know what an Oxford comma is. Oxford comma means a comma after the last in a series of things before the "and." For example: "At Christmas, we enjoy presents, tree decorating, and eating." Without: "At Christmas, we enjoy presents, tree decorating and eating." This can lead to confusion, as it implies that one likes to decorate trees and then eat them as opposed to three separate events. I like the Oxford comma. Some people don't care. Both forms are acceptable, so it's a matter of preference. |

In fact, this weekend I enjoyed a beverage made from a tree's ovary walls, flavored with the bark of a different tree AND the ovules of several other trees! Others I know enjoy eating the tree's ovary walls or ovules without any processing. |
