To Be Thankful
Picture
Thanksgiving came a week after the wedding. It was a whirlwind and I forgot to be thankful!
Thanks for Linda's Cooking!

But now that I'm caught up on sleep, I can stop and think about all that amazing Thai food Linda cooked. Our children were married in Texas a week before Thanksgiving, so we ended up gathering and celebrating for a few days in our home. 

Thanks For Time

While the honeymooners spent a couple days in Santa Fe, the rest of us basked in the fact that the wedding was over.. all went well and there was time to just hang out and relax.
Thankful For Good Health

A year ago, I was still focused on finishing treatments. This Thanksgiving, I didn't even think about my health. Now I'm looking back on this past holiday and I'm thankful for the good health in both our families... or we wouldn't have been able to have had those crazy ping pong matches.  We wouldn't have been able to go on that 4-mile dog walk before our feast. Too bad none of us are healthy enough to jump as high as Lola.

Thanks For Food and Drink

The newlyweds were back in time for champagne toasts and turkey feasting. We didn't sing our family's traditional song and we didn't go around the table saying what we were thankful for this year. We sort of forgot. But now I'm taking time to feel grateful for all the food and drink... especially since the leftovers are gone.
Thankful For This Little Girl
This was our first Thanksgiving without Heidi. She was celebrating with Jamie and his family. Again, I'm reminded not to take it for granted that we'll always be together for every holiday. This time next year, Heidi and Jamie will be married and Scott and Chali will be living in California. Who knows how we'll work out all these holidays?

I feel pretty darn lucky and grateful to have such a fun and flexible family. I know we'll always find a way or a time to come together. I'm thankful for that.

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
