Like leftovers, one more story can always be burped out from its remains.
Today is one such day:
Friendsgiving.
This is the day that we celebrate with friends, especially those who work on the holidays,
and we eat another Thanksgiving meal.
And, of course, we are thankful.
First of all, we are thankful for heat and hot water;
so many are still without.
Second, we are thankful for roofs over our heads and clean floors beneath our feet.
Third, we are thankful for friends because it means we have people surrounding us on whom we count, and that is a rare and wonderful thing.
Lastly, we are thankful to food that, like our good friends, seems to multiply.
Thank you, Thanksgiving, for giving me one more story to eke out;
Now go loosen that button and admit your time here is almost done ... for now;
Christmas is just around the bend.
