Thankful

Today is November 25th, and it's my birthday. Time has gotten away from me today because I had my monthly singing gig this evening and then went to the Seabrook Apple Market and got a piece of that wonderful, old fashioned, preservative filled banana cake I have loved to to eat once in a blue moon with my vanilla frozen yogurt that I have already. And so now I'm tired and it is late. I need to crash in about 15 minutes. One more day of school and then three off. Lookng forward to that. I love to sleep in during the week for any reason. I guess that makes me a lazy bum, basically. I love when my birthday is because on select years it falls on Thanksgiving. Because Thanksgiving is always on the third Thursday of November it can fall on any day of the week and with Leap Year and all it jumps around. Once I created a list of like practically every year of my life to figure out when my birthday fell on Thanksgiving. I don't remember what the pattern was, but I am not planning on going through all that again any time soon. It's just kind of a fun thing when your birthday falls on Thanksgiving. It obviously didn't this year. My friend whom I met at the drinking fountan in third grade, I just noticed, is exactly three weeks away from mine. I didn't realize that until just now. I got a text from her yesterday. I am going to have to shut this down for tonight. I know people are struggling with the election. I am not because I am a conservative, and I should avoid getting involved in discussions on Facebook about it, but I stuck myself into a discussion generated by someone outside of my perspective, you might say, and got a lot of toxicity from it. I should just stay out of it in the future, but hatred is so-o-o unproductive, and I wish people would stop doing it. We all can do better. Happy Thanksgiving week, day and season. Being thankful is an antidote for fear and worry, I think. So much to be thankful for. All the best to everyone out there, especially those who are struggling with the election. Remember we have been struggling with the last election for the past four years, so let's just try to be gracious and kind about it. Peace.
